§ 1-4-810. Permanency meeting and reports
A. 1. When a child has been in out-of-home care for twelve (12) months or longer, the court may require that the Department of Human Services facilitate a meeting held no later than thirty (30) days prior to the permanency hearing to discuss recommendations regarding the child's permanency plan that will be reported to and reviewed by the court.
2. The court may direct that the assigned guardian ad litem, which may be a court-appointed special advocate, if any, a judicial case manager, or the Department make arrangements for the meeting. The foster parents of the child or a representative of a group home where the child is placed, the parents of the child, or the parents' attorney, a postadjudication review board member, the guardian ad litem who has been appointed to the case, the child, and others as appropriate, and the child's attorney shall be contacted to assist in the preparation of the report; provided, however, persons determined not to require reasonable efforts pursuant to the provisions of Section 1-4-809 of this title shall not be required to attend.
3. Unless a permanency hearing has been conducted, the Department, as applicable, shall contact the foster parents or group home of the child, the parents of the child, or the parents' attorney, a postadjudication review board member, the guardian ad litem, or the court appointed special advocate who has been appointed to the case, and the child's attorney to assist in the preparation of the report.
