{"report_id":308,"form_id":"22","user_id":81,"organization_id":13,"question_id":"359","question_type":"Free_Text","text_answer":"Agency practice supported notices not being sent when a family member states a possibility of Native American Heritage and is unable to provide information regarding a specific tribe. \r\n\r\nState and local guidance was unclear and supported inconsistent practice among workers as it was not as clear on steps that needed to take place to ensure policy\/statute was followed. State and local guidance is shaped by ICWA and MIFPA requirements that notices be sent to the BIA by a social services agency if a tribe is unknown. Furthermore, these ICWA and MIFPA requirements, coupled with changes to the AFCARS requirements, influenced the development of tabs in SSIS used for guiding ICWA related work. These tabs were not fulling developed at the time, which contributed to state and local guidance being unclear.","created_by":81,"updated_by":81,"updated_at":"5\/26\/2021 11:48:37 am","created_at":"5\/26\/2021 11:48:37 am","id":31578}
