What is a Permanancy Planning Meeting?


This is a meeting set up by the social services worker in regard to you and your child(ren"s) case. These meetings are set up when your case has been in the system for a significant period of time, and when there are many agencies involved. The meeting helps all workers involved to organize and coordinate their services to the parent(s) and to the parent(s) advantage. During the meeting any one of these agencies may be in attendance: CASA worker (Court Appointed Special Advocate), Department of Social Services caseworker, Mental Health counselor, Assistant Principal or designated School representative, Disabilities worker, tribal child advocate, etc. You will be invited as well and have the ability to voice your concerns.
