Q: In addition to a completed Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths Assessment (CANS), does the Child and Family Team (CFT) need to be held and uploaded into CWS-CARES for the case plan to be eligible for supervisor approval?

A: CFT and Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths Assessment (CANS) are not dependent on one another being completed. There isn’t any requirement to upload a CFT form as a part of Case Plan completion.
