If
there has
been no finding the child is an Indian child:
- If notice was
sent before dispositional hearing, but there was no response at the
time of
that hearing, follow up to see if any tribe has responded.
- If the parent
has not returned the ICWA form, continue to encourage the parent to
return the
form.
- Ensure all
information provided by your client is made available to the
caseworker/department.
If
the child
has been found to be an Indian child and tribe has intervened:
- Ensure proper
notice of the hearing has been sent to the tribe.
If
there has
been a finding the child is not an Indian child:
- Check that no
new information has surfaced that would bring this finding into doubt
or would
trigger the need to send notice.
