This issue brief explores research and practice on concurrent planning, which is an approach that seeks to eliminate delays in attaining permanent families for children in the foster care system. The process involves considering all reasonable options for permanency at the earliest possible point following a child's entry into foster care. The issue brief reports on how the practice of concurrent planning has evolved over the last decade, includes findings from the Child and Family Services Reviews (CFSRs) and the literature, and presents two State examples associated with the successful planning and implementation of concurrent planning in public agencies.
