If a family is not making progress on the case plan outcomes, what should you do first?

notify the court of noncompliance
evaluate the validity of the identified outcomes
seek the Guardian ad litem to help resolve the issues
staff the case for termination of parental rights

The correct answer is: evaluate the validity of the identified outcomes

If a family is not making progress on the case plan outcomes, the first step should be to evaluate the validity of the identified outcomes. This means assessing whether the outcomes were appropriate and achievable for the family, and if there were any barriers or challenges that prevented them from making progress. Option A, notifying the court of noncompliance, should only be done after a thorough evaluation of the outcomes. Option C, seeking the Guardian ad litem, may be helpful in resolving the issues, but it is not the first step. Option D, staffing the case for termination of parental rights, should only be considered as a last resort after all other efforts have been made to help the family reach their case plan outcomes.
