TX HHS Form 2405. Affidavit for Risk Evaluation by Child Placing Agency

The TX HHS Form 2405, "Affidavit for Risk Evaluation by Child Placing Agency", is a crucial document used to evaluate the risk of placing children in foster or adoptive care. This form helps child placing agencies assess the suitability of an individual or family to provide a safe and stable environment for children.

The form requires important information about the operation, including its name, address, and status. It also asks for details about the person for whom the risk evaluation is required, such as their date of birth, social security number, and role/job title. Additionally, the form inquires about any special needs of children who have been or are expected to be placed in the foster or adoptive home.

The form highlights the importance of a thorough risk evaluation process. It emphasizes that approved risk evaluations are specific to the particular child(ren) named and cannot be used for other children without a new approval. The form also requires an explanation of why individuals with criminal or Central Registry history do not pose a risk to the health and safety of the children in care.
