Best Practices in Permanency Planning in Public Child Welfare: An Example from Oklahoma (Poster Session 1)
Best Practices in Permanency Planning in Public Child Welfare:
An Example from Oklahoma (Poster Session 1)
A study was conducted to examine the decision-making processes of Oklahoma child welfare caseworkers and judges at the critical decision point of the 12-month permanency hearing. After analyzing county-level data, a best practice county and a comparison county were selected on the basis of performance on two Federal outcome measures: time to reunification and re-entry into foster care. This session presents key findings with regard to "successful" permanency planning, that is, planning which resulted in stable family reunification.
