Permanency Order {CCJP 0656}

CCJP 0656 - PERMANENCY ORDER. This form is used in the Child Protection Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, during a permanency hearing involving a minor under the court’s jurisdiction. The form documents the court’s findings after reviewing the minor’s current status, the progress of parents or guardians, and the efforts made by the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) toward achieving a permanent, stable living situation for the child. It outlines the parties present at the hearing, the number of placements the child has had, and selects an appropriate permanency goal—such as return home, adoption, guardianship, or continued foster care—based on evidence and service plan assessments. The order also evaluates whether the services provided are appropriate and effective, determines whether DCFS has made reasonable efforts to meet the goal, and sets a timeline for future court actions. www.FormsWorkflow.com
