It is really important for foster parents to come to foster care reviews!
It is a task on the child’s service plan that you attend and also in the foster parent agreement.
You bring vital information to the table and it’s very important that you be there.
Of course we do understand when foster parents can’t make it for work or other things out of your control, but in that case you should let your family resource worker know when the review is, and that you are unable to come. You should also write up how the child is doing in school/daycare, home etc as well as any medical issues the child may have and the date of their last dr and dental appointment. That way your voice can be heard even if you can’t be there, and the panel gets the full picture which often only the foster parent can bring.
Thanks!
And HAPPY SPRING! It’s coming!!!!
