The permanency planning committee/team meeting,  co-chaired by the regional supervisor, and the county director or designee, must meet within 30 days of the child’s placement into foster care. Information regarding the committee, its purpose, function, membership, process, initial meeting, legal authority, and responsibility are specified in Section 05-05 of this chapter. The Permanency Planning Committee Initial Report and Progress Reports are to be completed in Comprehensive Child Welfare Information and Payment System (CCWIPS). Refer also to Section in this manual on “Case Plan,” as well as the Single Plan of Care (SPOC) documentation requirements in the Wraparound Case Management Manual NDDHS 641.

 

The signed signature sheet from the Permanency Planning Committee Initial Report, the Permanency Planning Periodic Review (CCWIPS generated), or the Single Plan of Care (SPOC) must be maintained as a hard copy in the child’s foster care case file. Any SPOC documents generated must also be maintained as a hard copy 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.
