Governance and resources
Governing-body oversight of policy, budget, program operations, incidents, and internal controls.
Qualified program oversight
Assignment and supervision of authorized staff, appropriate escalation, and coordination with the agencies responsible for placement and care decisions.
Continuity of care
Coverage and handoffs for essential services, access to necessary records, and coordination when an interruption affects care.
Quality and family experience
Consideration of feedback, service records, and identified concerns to guide improvement and follow-through.
Information stewardship
Role-appropriate access to records, verification of disclosure authority, and secure coordination of necessary information.
Respect and access
Attention to language, communication, disability accommodation, cultural identity, and participation by youth, families, and Tribes where applicable.
Credential and service documentation
County reviewers may request current licensing and accreditation documentation, including the applicable entity, program scope, and effective dates. Contract-specific qualifications, staffing, capacity, and service commitments should be established through the appropriate review and contracting process.
For a service inquiry, identify the program, county, and general assistance needed. For contracting or collaboration, describe the proposed scope and timing. Contact KFA to arrange an authorized, secure route before sending confidential case records.
