The Permanency Planning Committee/Foster Care Child & Family Team, co-chaired by the regional supervisor and the county director, serves as the ongoing gatekeeper and provides oversight in the administration of the foster care program. At a minimum, the committee/team must meet at least every three months with the key people in the child’s life to review the child’s situation and progress toward safety, permanency, and well-being.

 

Information regarding the periodic case reviews is at NDDHS Service Chapter 624-05-15-80. Also refer to the Service Chapter 624-05 section on “Case Plan.”

 

The signed signature sheet from any initial or progress reports must be maintained as hard copies in the child’s foster care case file.

 

In those limited situations where the permanency planning preprinted forms are allowed, Permanency Planning Committee Initial Report, SFN 902 and Permanency Planning Committee Progress Report, SFN 903, the entire form, signed, must be maintained as a hard copy in the child’s foster care case file.
