The Child & Family Team, serves as the ongoing gatekeeper and oversight in the administration of the individual foster care case plan for each child.

 

At a minimum, the team must meet at least every three months (quarterly) with the key people in the child’s life to review the child and families progress toward safety, permanency, and well-being. The quarterly team meetings focus on case progress towards the established goal with specific dates for completion and ongoing evaluation of the case plan to fulfill the stated goals. The team has the responsibility to provide planning input. At the conclusion of the meeting, the case manager is responsible for completion and distribution of the updated case plan. The updated case plan must be signed and maintained as a hard copy in the child’s foster care case file.

 

In addition to ongoing quarterly review of the case by the agency, an administrative review completed by the Department must be held at least every six months to assure that the intent of permanency planning and the requirements of this chapter are carried out.
