Her current placement had indicated that they were not a permanency option for the subject child and her sibling.  Due to this and the fact that there are both state and federal pressures with statue and guidance to achieve timely permanency, staff were placed in a position in which they needed to locate and move the subject child and her sibling to a placement option that would be permanent for her and her brother.  Further contributing to this pressure that staff felt was that the Judge granted a TPR in this case without having an identified permanency option and the county attorney did not want the case to go to trial.  Further impacting this change of placement and in order for it to occur quickly was that the current relative provider indicated to staff that they were going to be moving out of state in the near future and that they would not be able to take the children with them.  \r\n\r\nIn cases such as this one, there is often a kinship worker, ongoing case worker, and an adoption worker.  As a result of the need to achieve timely (within 12 months) permanency, things were happening very quickly in this case This efficiency pressure impacted communication between all of the staff and left staff feeling like important information was not communicated amongst one another about the case.  Additionally impacting staff's ability to communicate effectively and thoroughly about this case was having staff located so far away from one another and staff not having a space where they are readily available to communicate on cases such as this one that involved multiple workers. \r\n\r\nThis efficiency pressure impacted communication between all of the staff and left staff feeling like important information was not communicated amongst one another about the case.

This, in addition to the pressure felt to make decisions quickly in this case, the case transfer process was impacted and staff where not able to sit down all together as a team and talk through placement decisions together.","created_by":81,"updated_by":81,"updated_at":"5\/26\/2021 10:08:45 am","created_at":"5\/26\/2021 10:08:45 am","id":27504}
