Permanency Planning Policy, Protocol, and Guidance PERMANENCY PLANNING POLICY, PROTOCOL, AND GUIDANCE Purpose Permanency Planning Services are provided to children who must be separated from their own parents or caretakers when they are unable or unwilling to provide adequate protection and care. As a result, the child enters the custody of a North Carolina county child welfare services agency. When this happens, the county child welfare services agency has legal custody and/or placement responsibility, whether the child has been removed from their home, and regardless of the type of placement. County child welfare custody must not be considered until reasonable efforts have been made to preserve a child’s safety, health, and well-being in their own home. County child welfare agencies are required to provide services to preserve or reunify families until parental rights have been terminated by the juvenile court. When county child welfare custody is necessary, it is the responsibility of the county child welfare services agency to ensure the child remains in its custody for the shortest time possible. Permanency Planning Services require a thorough assessment of the child and family’s needs and careful planning prior to and throughout a child’s experience in county child welfare custody. Permanency Planning Services must be provided to any child in the custody or placement responsibility of a county child welfare services agency. Permanency Planning Services include but are not limited to: o Careful planning and decision making with the family about placement, when necessary, and preparing the child, the child’s family, and the foster family for separation and placement, including developing a family time and contact (visitation) agreement; o Assessing children’s needs to ensure appropriate placement and services; o Arranging and monitoring a placement appropriate to the child’s needs; o Involving the kinship network to provide planning, placement, and other support for the child and family; o Assessing family strengths and needs to determine the appropriate plan for service; o Developing and arranging community-based services to support the child and family; o Collaborating with other community service providers working with the family to ensure continuity of services and to prevent duplication of services; o Referring the child and family to needed services, including clinical treatment; o Collaborating with educational agencies to ensure school stability for the child and that all factors relating to the child’s best interest are considered in determining the child’s educational setting; all appropriate educational services are provided to the child; and documentation of educational planning is in the case file; o Providing ongoing assessment to determine risk to the child and to guide the case planning process; o Working with the family to develop and implement the Out-of-Home Family Services Agreement (OH-FSA); Permanency Planning Services Policy, Protocol, and Guidance (July 2019) Page 1 NC CHILD WELFARE MANUAL Return to Permanency Planning TOC Return to Manual TOC o Helping the family meet the OH-FSA objectives by providing information, instruction, guidance, and mentoring related to parenting skills, and by monitoring and updating the agreement with the family; o Providing case planning and management; o Concurrent permanency planning with the family to develop alternative options to provide a permanent home for a child should reunification fail; o Supervising the placement to ensure the child receives proper care during placement; o Preparing for and participating in court proceedings; o Preparing for and facilitating Child and Family Team /Permanency Planning Review meetings; o Providing transportation for children in county child welfare agency custody when needed and not otherwise available, including visits with parents, siblings, and relatives; o Providing LINKS services to assist older youth in learning life skills necessary to make a successful transition from foster care to living on their own; o Ensuring placements across state lines comply with the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC); o Recruiting and assessing relatives and other kin as potential caregivers; o Involving foster parents in planning and decision making for children in county child welfare agency custody; o Preparing children for adoptive placements and maintaining life books; and o Maintaining the permanency planning case record and thorough documentation of case activities. Foster care can be defined as a situation in which, for a period, a child lives with and is cared for by people who are not the child’s parents. There are different forms of foster care, including but not limited to: o Family foster homes, o Therapeutic foster homes, and o Residential care. For child welfare, “foster care” refers to children in the legal custody of a county child welfare services agency; however, a child may also be placed in foster care by their parent without involvement of a county child welfare services agency.

    Expert evidence in favour of shared parenting 2 of 12 Shared Parenting: Expert Evidence Majority View of Psychiatrists, Paediatricians and Psychologists The majority view of the psychiatric and paediatric profession is that mothers and fathers are equals as parents, and that a close relationship with both parents is necessary to maximise the child's chances for a healthy and parents productive life. J. Atkinson, Criteria for Deciding Child Custody in the Trial and Appellate Courts, Family Law Quarterly, Vol. XVIII, No. 1, American both Bar Association (Spring 1984). In a report that “summarizes and evaluates the major research concerning joint custody and its impact on children's welfare”, the American Psychological Association (APA) concluded that: “The research reviewed supports the conclusion that joint custody is parent is associated with certain favourable outcomes for children including father involvement, best interest of the child for adjustment outcomes, child support, reduced relitigation costs, and sometimes reduced parental conflict.” best The APA also noted that: the “The need for improved policy to reduce the present adversarial approach that has resulted in primarily sole maternal custody, limited father involvement and maladjustment of both children and parents is critical. Increased mediation, joint custody, and parent education are supported for this policy.” Report to the US Commission on Child and Family Welfare, American Psychological Association (June 14, 1995) The same American Psychological Association adopted

Shared Parenting Laws: Mistakes of Pooling? Margaret F. Brinig, Notre Dame Law School In their recent paper “Anti-Herding Regulation,” forthcoming in the Harvard Business Review,1 Ian Ayres and Joshua Mitts argue that many well-intentioned public policy regulations potentially harm rather than help situations. That is, because the rules seek to pool—or herd—groups of people, treating them as equal, they miss or mask important differences among the regulated, thus magnifying systematic risk. Anti- herding regulation, on the other hand, can produce socially beneficial information, in their words steering “both private and public actors toward better evidence-based outcomes.” Left to their own, or with various carrot-and-stick incentives, some groups, anyway, would instead fare better if allowed to separate or diverge. Ayres and Mitts buttress their case with examples from engineering (bridges collapsing because soldiers crossed them in cadences matched to the structures’ oscillations), finance (mandating only low percentages down for real estate purchasers), biodiversity and ecosystem stability, and genetic variation itself.

  • Articles Contractualizing Custody
    ARTICLES CONTRACTUALIZING CUSTODY Sarah Abramowicz* Many scholars otherwise in favor of the enforcement of family contracts agree that parent-child relationships should continue to prove the exception to any contractualized family law regime. This Article instead questions the continued refusal to enforce contracts concerning parental rights to children’s custody. It argues that the refusal to enforce such contracts contributes to a differential treatment of two types of families: those deemed “intact”—typically consisting of two married parents and their offspring—and those deemed non-intact. Intact families are granted a degree of freedom from government intervention, provided that there is no evidence that children are in any danger of harm. Non-intact families, by contrast, are subject to the perpetual threat of intervention, even in the absence of harm. The result of this two-tier system is that non-intact families are denied the autonomy and stability that intact families enjoy, to the detriment of parents and children alike. The goal of this Article is to address inconsistent scholarly approaches to custody agreements, on the one hand, and parentage agreements, on the other. Marital agreements about children are largely unenforceable, and even scholars who otherwise favor the enforcement of marital agreements largely approve of this approach, concurring that a court should be able to override a contract concerning children’s custody if it finds that enforcement is not in the children’s best interests. By contrast, those who write about parentage agreements, such as those made in the context of assisted reproductive technology or by unmarried, single, or multiple (i.e., more than two) parents, are more likely to favor the enforcement of such agreements.

  • Teens in Foster Care and Their Babies
    Teens in Foster Care and Their Babies 2013 If you are a pregnant or parenting teenager in foster care, you may have some questions or concerns. Being a teen parent can be stressful, and the added demands of the foster care system might leave you feeling confused or concerned for your baby’s future. This brochure answers some common questions and explains what your rights are as a pregnant or parenting teen in foster care. Family Planning Teens in foster care have the same right as other teens to obtain advice on birth control, family planning, and pregnancy tests without the consent of anyone else. To get these services, contact Family Planning (800) 942-1054 or Planned Parenthood (800) 576-5544. HIV Testing If you are 12 or older, you can get tested for HIV/AIDS without anyone else’s permission and without giving permission for others to be told. However, if you tell a DCFS social worker that you are HIV+ or have AIDS, the social worker must tell others. What If I Become Pregnant While I’m a Court Dependent? The decision regarding how to handle your pregnancy is yours. You may choose to keep the baby, put the baby up for adoption or have an abortion. Nobody can take this choice away from you – not your parents, relatives, foster parents, your boyfriend and his family, the judge, or your social worker. -1- Who can I talk to If I Need Help Making A Decision About My Pregnancy? If you need information on your choices, your DCFS social worker must give you referrals for family planning counseling.

[Cite as In re Bonfield, 96 Ohio St.3d 218, 2002-Ohio-4182.] Custody — Pursuant to its authority under R.C. 2151.23(A)(2), a juvenile court may determine whether a shared custody agreement between partners in a same-sex relationship is in the best interests of the children. (No. 2001-0625 — Submitted March 13, 2002 — Decided August 28, 2002.) APPEAL from the Court of Appeals for Hamilton County, Nos. C-000436 and C- 000437. __________________ MOYER, C.J. {¶1} Appellants, Teri J. Bonfield and Shelly M. Zachritz, have lived together since 1987 as partners in a same-sex relationship. During that time, Teri has adopted two children, Joseph, born in 1993, and Jacob, born in 1995. Shelly participated equally with Teri in the decision to adopt the boys. {¶2} Teri has also given birth to three children, a son born in 1996, and twins born in 1998, each of whom was conceived through anonymous artificial insemination. Shelly actively participated in the planning and births of the children, assisted with Teri’s artificial insemination, and was present throughout Teri’s doctor’s visits during the pregnancies and actual births. According to Teri and Shelly, since the children’s respective adoptions and births Shelly has acted as their primary caregiver and has come to be seen by them as their parent in the same way as has Teri. {¶3} Appellants’ description of their family is echoed by Dr. Leslie Swift, a licensed clinical psychologist, who testified that appellants operate jointly in caring for the children, and have created a loving and committed home.

  • Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Related to the Definitions, Roles, and Responsibilities of Parents, Persons Acting As the Parent of a Child, and Surrogate Parents
    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Related to the Definitions, Roles, and Responsibilities of Parents, Persons Acting as the Parent of a Child, and Surrogate Parents Over the years, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) and the Department of Children and Families (DCF) have frequently received questions relating to the definitions of “parent,” “person acting as the parent of a child,” and “surrogate parent.” Those definitions are of particular importance when it comes to children under the guardianship of DCF and children with disabilities. A workgroup1 was developed by the two Departments to attempt to respond to those questions which have been most frequently asked. This is not an exhaustive document and it should be noted that both Departments encourage school districts, county departments of social/human services, and tribal child welfare agencies to consult with their agency attorneys. This document does not constitute legal advice from either DCF or DPI. Definition of “Parent” Under the Children’s Code and the Juvenile Justice Code (Wisconsin Statutes): “Parent” means a biological parent, a husband who has consented to the artificial insemination of his wife under s. 891.40, or a parent by adoption. If the child is a non-marital child who is not adopted or whose parents do not subsequently intermarry under s. 767.803, “parent” includes a person acknowledged under s. 767.805 or a substantially similar law of another state or adjudicated to be the biological father. “Parent” does not include any person whose parental rights have been terminated. For purposes of the application of s. 48.028 and the federal Indian Child Welfare Act, 25 USC 1901 to 1963, “parent” means a biological parent, an Indian husband who has consented to the artificial insemination of his wife under s.
