FAQ
(1) The purpose of a permanency planning hearing is to review the permanency plan for the child, inquire into the welfare of the child and progress of the case, and reach decisions regarding the permanent placement of the child.
Overall, there are typically more than one permanency hearing in a CPS case, however. About four months after the first permanency hearing, the second permanency hearing is typically the occasion on which you can expect to hear from the judge on whether your child can be returned to your home on a permanent basis.
Permanency hearings are held to decide if progress is being made on a case plan. If there is progress a judge can offer parent(s) a continuance to continue working toward RU (typically another 3 or 6 months, then they'd have another permanency hearing).
Practice and Policy Recommendations. Permanency planning must begin before a child or youth enters foster care. The first choice, of course, is to help a birth family stay intact. If that is not possible, the next choice would be appropriate relatives.
At the permanency hearing, the DCP&P will present a plan for the child's permanent placement. The plan can be to return the child to his or her parent, terminate parental rights and find an adoptive family, or naming the relative who is caring for the child the legal guardian.
Permanency planning is the process of assessing and preparing a child for long term care when in out-of-home placements such as kinship, foster care or institutions. A care plan must centre on what is in the child's best interests, and therefore requires an ongoing assessment of the child and her needs.
