WHEN TO USE IT
The Worker uses the guide as a reference tool in the preparation of Life Books for children in resource (foster or adoptive care) family homes.
TIPS FOR COMPLETING THE LIFE BOOK
• The Worker has primary responsibility for compiling information and material to be included in the Life Book.
• Whenever a resource (foster or adoptive) parent is involved with the Worker and child in the development of a Life Book, the Worker gives a copy of the guide to the resource (foster or adoptive) parent.
• Order photo albums for Life Books from the Central Office Stockroom. Access the General Office Supply Request Form on the DCF website>Administrative Services>Facilities Management>Miscellaneous Office Supply Request Form and check off item 208.
• Purchase the film for pictures to be included in a Life Book through the Local Office petty cash fund, see CP&P-IX-F-1-600, Petty Cash Fund.
