A child-caring agency must have a conflict of interest policy that prohibits preferential treatment of board members, employees, volunteers, and contributors. The policy must outline safeguards when the child-caring agency allows dual relationships, such as employees serving as proctor foster parents, including the requirement that all material facts of the conflicted transaction and the direct or indirect interest of the board member, employee, volunteer, or contributor are disclosed or known to the board approving the conflicted transaction. If circumstances do not permit board approval of the conflicted transaction, a non-profit child-caring agency may obtain the approval of the Attorney General or the Department prior to entering into the transaction.
