Or. Admin. Code § 413-070-0556 - APPLA Permanency Plan Reviews
(1) The caseworker must review the APPLA case
plan at least every six months and the review must occur prior to a review by
the court or citizen review board as required by ORS
419B.470 and
419A.106(1)
respectively.
(a) The review must take place
in a face-to-face meeting with the child or young adult, and may include
members of the team of the child or young adult.
(A) When appropriate, the meeting may include
a parent or guardian, unless the parent or guardian is not available for the
review. When a parent or guardian is unavailable, the caseworker must document
the reason the parent or guardian was unavailable and the efforts made to
involve the parent or guardian.
(B) During the meeting the caseworker must
consider input received from the child or young adult and, at the option of the
child or young adult, up to two members of the case planning team who are
chosen by the child or young adult as described in OAR
413-040-0010(3)(c),
other participants in the meeting, and other information received from service
providers, substitute caregivers, an attorney of the child or young adult, a
court appointed special advocate of the child or young adult, the tribe if the
child is an ICWA child, persons with significant attachments to the child or
young adult, and relatives of the child or young adult.
(b) After the meeting described in subsection
(a) of this section, the caseworker must document in the case record:
(A) Whether the current placement continues
to be the least restrictive setting available to meet the safety and permanency
needs of the child or young adult; or
(B) Whether a more permanent permanency plan,
such as reunification, adoption, guardianship, or placement with a fit and
willing relative is more appropriate for the child or young adult.
(2) When an APPLA has
been approved by the court as the permanency plan for a child or young adult in
the legal custody of the Department, the Department must notify the court and
request a review or permanency hearing:
(a)
No less frequently than once every 12 months while the child or young adult
remains in substitute care in accordance with ORS
419B.470(2).
(b) Unless good cause is shown, at
any time upon the request of the Department, a substitute caregiver directly
responsible for the care of the child or young adult, a parent of the child or
young adult, an attorney for the child or young adult, a court appointed
special advocate, a citizen review board, or a tribal court in accordance with
ORS 419B.470(5).
(c) By the citizen review board no
less frequently than every six months in accordance with ORS
419A.106(1)(a)
unless the court has relieved the citizen review board of its responsibility to
review a case in accordance with ORS
419A.106(1)(b).
(d) Within 90 days of a change of
substitute care placement.
