This document includes practical and professional paperwork for residential care including registration and assessment forms, application for renewal of licenses, referral forms, and emergency admission forms. Can be modified for different country contexts. While these forms may prove useful to organizations and governments seeking to provide oversight to residential institutions, they are not comprehensive. The forms do not sufficiently emphasize the need to collect regular information regarding each child in the care system, or the need to review each child's case regularly, with the aim of family reunification. Residential institutions should also be encouraged to provide family support services, or referrals to such services, for children and families who may not need formal care but still need assistance and support.
