permanency plan

permanency plan. A proposed written strategy for the eventual permanent placement of a child who has been removed from his or her parents. • A permanency plan, ideally, provides either for the child’s safe return to one or both parents or for the child’s adoption. If neither of these alternatives is possible, then the plan will provide for long-term foster care, relative care, or guardianship. Under the Adoption and Safe Families Act, long-term foster care is the choice of last resort. — Also termed permanent plan.
