Area of Science:

  • Child Welfare Research
  • Public Policy Analysis
  • Social Work Practice

Background:

  • Case review is crucial for effective planning and service delivery for children in foster care.
  • The goal of case review is to shorten time in foster care and achieve permanent placements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of early external citizen review on children in foster care.
  • To determine if timely review affects service provision, court processes, and placement stability.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study design was employed.
  • Two groups were compared: one receiving early external citizen review (14-45 days post-entry) and a control group.
  • Key outcomes measured included service delivery, court delays, case plan completeness, placement changes, and time to permanent placement.

Main Results:

  • Early citizen review positively impacted the completeness of written case plans.
  • The study observed a reduction in court delays for cases with early review.
  • While not statistically significant in all areas, trends suggested improved service delivery and movement towards permanent placements.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing early external citizen review can enhance the quality of case planning and potentially expedite permanency for children in foster care.
  • Findings support policy considerations for integrating timely citizen review into child welfare systems.
  • Further research is recommended to explore long-term impacts and optimize review processes.
