Before the triggered review, you must notify the child's parent at least how long in advance so they can participate?

• A. 24 hours
• B. One week
• C. Two weeks
• D. One month

Answer: (C)

Adequate advance notice to a parent is about ensuring meaningful participation in agency reviews. For a triggered review, the parent must be notified at least two weeks in advance so they have time to review materials, arrange attendance, and prepare any information or witnesses they want to present. This timeframe balances timely review with the parent's right to participate and avoids rushed decisions. Shorter notice like 24 hours or a week could undermine participation, while a full month is longer than necessary and could delay the process; the standard practice is two weeks unless an urgent safety issue requires a different arrangement.
