Permanency Pathways
Permanency in casework gives a child or young person in out-of-home care (OOHC) the best opportunity to have a permanent, safe home.
The permanent placement principles provide guidance on determining the best permanent home for a child. The principles cover preservation, restoration, guardianship, open adoption and parental responsibility to the Minister.
