Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

The permanency planning process is a required, ongoing process that DFPS follows when providing services to children and families. The process involves directing DFPS services toward the achievement of:

(1) a safe living situation for the child;

(2) a permanent living situation for the child;

(3) a committed family for the child;

(4) an enduring and nurturing family relationship that can meet the child's needs;

(5) a sense of security for the child;

(6) a legal status for the child that protects the rights of the child; and

(7) in the case of a child whose permanency goal is another planned, permanent living arrangement, a connection to a caring adult who will be supportive into adulthood during and after the transition to independent living.
