What is the foster care service plan?
The foster care service plan is a document that describes the needs of the child and family and identifies the services that will be provided to meet these needs. Any appropriate service must be made available to a foster child when that service is documented as needed. Rehabilitative, restorative and supportive services shall also be provided to parents and foster parents on behalf of the child. Services to be provided may include, but are not limited to, day care, respite care, transportation for the parents, educational, social or recreational activities, counseling and medical services.
