The Division of Children and Family Services (DCFS) issues an updated and reorganized DCFS Policy and Procedures Manual. The revision reflects changes resulting from legislative Acts and better aligns the manual with the Division’s practice model and focus on permanency. The rule aligns with Code of Arkansas Rules (CAR) format standards while ensuring compliance with plain language standards and updated terminology. Finally, DCFS removes all internal processes and procedures from the rule manual.
