What is a Placement Review Team (PRT)?
A DCF Placement Review Team is a non-educational decision-making body whose purpose is to determine whether a childs treatment needs are such that the child must remain within the facility milieu in order to meet the childs treatment goals, and, if so, whether on a full-time or part-time basis. The PRT must convene and make this determination no later than thirty (30) days after the date if the placement. Prior to the initial determination by the DCF PRT, the child must receive all services within the facility milieu.
