| "Following a disposition in North Carolina, the court must conduct a review in 90 days and must conduct a review hearing at least every six months thereafter. Our permanency planning hearing must also be held before the court either within 30 days of a change in goal from reunification to some other plan, or within twelve months of being placed in non-secure custody."
There are two different "review systems" in North Carolina. One is the court review system, the other is the Permanency Planning Action Team reviews. Both follow the same timeline. 1st review within 60 days of coming into care. 2nd Review 90 days from there and then every 6 months. (6 month review). Those are the standards with allowances for making them more frequent. (Found on the Child Court mailing list.) |
