260C.208 INFORMATION FOR CHILD PLACEMENT.
Subdivision 1. Agency with placement authority. An agency with legal responsibility for
the placement of a child may request and shall receive all information pertaining to the child
that it considers necessary to appropriately carry out its duties. That information must include
educational, medical, psychological, psychiatric, and social or family history data retained in any
form by any individual or entity. The agency may gather appropriate data regarding the child's
parents in order to develop and implement a case plan required by section 260C.212. Upon request
of the court responsible for overseeing the provision of services to the child and family and for
implementing orders that are in the best interest of the child, the responsible social services
agency or tribal social services agency shall provide appropriate written or oral reports from any
individual or entity that has provided services to the child or family. The reports must include the
nature of the services being provided the child or family; the reason for the services; the nature,
extent, and quality of the child's or parent's participation in the services, where appropriate; and
recommendations for continued services, where appropriate. The individual or entity shall report
all observations and information upon which it bases its report as well as its conclusions. If
necessary to facilitate the receipt of the reports, the court may issue appropriate orders.
