A more thorough explanation:

A case plan is a written plan that outlines how to take care of a child who has been removed from their home and placed in foster care or an institution. The plan includes:

• A description of where the child will be living
• A plan for providing the child with safe and proper care
• A plan for services that will be provided to the child's parents

Every state must have a system to review the case plan every six months to make sure the child is in the best possible place and receiving the best possible care.

For example, if a child is removed from their home because of abuse or neglect, a case plan will be created to determine where the child will live and how they will be taken care of. The plan may include placing the child with a foster family, providing counseling services to the child and their parents, and setting goals for the parents to work towards so that they can eventually regain custody of their child.

The case plan is important because it ensures that the child's safety and well-being are the top priority, rather than the rights of the parents. This is in line with the Adoption and Safe Families Act, which requires states to find safe and permanent homes for abused and neglected children in a timely manner.
