required by law, may receive any relevant and material evidence

helpful in determining the proper disposition to be made. It shall

include written reports required by law and may include

evaluations of the child or the parent or custodian that may be

obtained and that are relevant and material. Such evidence may be

received by the court and may be relied upon to the extent of its

hearing.

disclosure of all information in all reports submitted to the court.

(1) the placement or custody of the child;

(2) special conditions of placement and visitation;

(3) evaluation, counseling, treatment activities, and

other actions to be taken by the parties where ordered;

(4) supervising or monitoring agencies and

continuation or discharge of the guardian ad litem, when

appropriate;

(5) the period of time or date for subsequent case

review when required by law; and

(6) such other requirements deemed necessary to

protect the health, safety, and well-being of the child.

(d) Out-of-Home Placement. If the court places the child in

out-of-home placement, subsequent proceedings shall be governed

by part IIID of these rules.
