This section requires Community Residential Rehabilitation Services (CRRS) to establish written agreements with county children and youth agencies or social service agencies when caring for children in legal custody, covering placement planning, surrogate parent processes, family communication, and health care coordination. CRRS facilities serving school-age children must also develop formal arrangements with education agencies to coordinate service planning, education plans, scheduling of treatment, and information exchange. These requirements supplement the general service linkage provisions in § 5310.39.
