Assessment, escalation and approved next steps

Significant concerns are reported to the Sponsor / Program Team. A request to change host families starts with local assessment; it does not guarantee a change. The Local / Area Representative supports approved placement changes when necessary, while final decisions remain with the responsible authority under program rules. The International Representative can assist family communication but does not replace local assessment or decide the outcome.
