Before a triggered review, which person must be notified at least two weeks in advance to allow participation?

• A. The foster parent
• B. The case supervisor
• C. The child's parent
• D. The teacher

Answer: (C)

The key idea is ensuring the parent’s right to participate in decisions about the child. Before a triggered review, the child’s biological or legal parent must be given notice well ahead of time (at least two weeks) so they can be present, review materials, prepare questions or testimony, and arrange support or legal representation if needed. This fosters due process and meaningful parental involvement in planning for the child’s safety, well-being, and permanency.

Foster parents are important participants in the child’s care, but the formal requirement to be notified for participation in this specific review is centered on the child’s parent, who holds legal rights in these proceedings. The case supervisor and the teacher are agency staff or service providers; their involvement is important but does not carry the same required notice for parental participation.
