Florida Child Welfare Case Manager Certification Practice Exam

Which staffing is held for children 13 years old or older in out-of-home placements to identify their permanency arrangements as well as their life skills educational goals and career choices?

1. Independent living

2. Parental supervision meeting

3. Educational planning session

4. Career counseling

The correct answer is: Independent living

Staffing for independent living is held for children 13 years old or older in out-of-home placements because it focuses on helping them identify their permanency arrangements and providing support in areas such as life skills, education, and career choices. Option B, a parental supervision meeting, would not be applicable as these children are in out-of-home placements and may not have a parental figure present. Option C, an educational planning session, may not address the specific needs of children in out-of-home placements. Option D, career counseling, may be a part of the staffing process, but does not encompass all of the elements of independent living that are important for these children's future success.
