See 6120 Initial and Ongoing Caseworker Activities and its subitems for information about immediate conservatorship (CVS) caseworker actions regarding case transfer from investigations, notification to relatives, and visitation.
For general information on permanency and permanency planning, see the Permanency Planning Resource Guide.
Permanency refers to a child exiting from CPS care into an appropriate, permanent setting.
CPS’s goal for children and youth in conservatorship is Positive Permanency. Positive Permanency is when a child or youth exits to:
• family reunification;
• adoption; or
• permanent managing conservatorship to another individual.
Planning for permanency begins the moment CPS removes a child from the home and places the child in substitute care, and does not end until a child exits CPS conservatorship, preferably to a permanent family setting.
