When is the permanency hearing first scheduled in relation to child removal?

12 months after
6 months after
90 days after
30 days after

The correct answer is: 12 months after

The permanency hearing is held after a child has been in foster care for a specified amount of time, usually 12 months. This allows for the court to assess the progress made towards reunification with the child's biological family or to decide on a different permanent living arrangement for the child. Choices B, C and D are incorrect because they are too soon after the child's removal and may not allow enough time for necessary changes to be made. Allowing for a longer period of time, such as 12 months, allows for a more thorough determination of what is in the best interest of the child.
