Although CPS may be named as the permanent managing conservator, CPS must continue efforts toward achieving positive permanency for every child and youth. Specifically, staff must:

  •  ensure that any services provided following the final order comply with specific provisions of the final order and are reflected in the FPOS. The court may, in the final order, provide for child support, visitation, possessory conservatorship, or other rights, duties, and services, all of which should be reflected in the Family Plan of Service (FPOS) and CPS actions in the case;

  •  conduct a review of the case within 30 days of the final order and revise the FPOS within 45 days of the final order.

  •  assess the parents’ involvement in the case;

  •  actively pursue services until:

  •  CPS is no longer permanent managing conservator;

  •  parental rights are terminated; or

  •  the determination is made that services can be discontinued in accordance with 6365 Reassessing Inactive Parents and Parents Unable to Provide a Safe Home When Parental Rights Have Not Been Terminated; and

  •  ensure contact between the parents, the child, and the caseworker.
