The caseworker must review the Family Service Plan monthly to determine whether the issues that placed the child at risk have been sufficiently resolved for the child to return home safely.
Before the initial permanency hearing, the caseworker must evaluate whether to:
• reunite the child with the family;
• continue providing services with a view toward reuniting the child with the family on or before the 12th month; or
• select another permanency planning goal.
