What is the purpose of Back-Up Planning in the child welfare system?

To provide immediate emergency care
To evaluate foster care placements
To have a plan for ongoing care if the current caregiver is unable to continue
To transition children into group homes

The correct answer is: To have a plan for ongoing care if the current caregiver is unable to continue

Back-Up Planning in the child welfare system serves the purpose of ensuring that there is a plan in place for ongoing care if the current caregiver is unable to continue providing care. This type of planning is essential to ensure the continuity of care and stability for children in the system. It helps to anticipate potential disruptions in care and to have a strategy in place to address those situations promptly. Option A: Providing immediate emergency care is typically the role of emergency responders or crisis intervention services, not specifically the purpose of Back-Up Planning in the child welfare system. Option B: Evaluating foster care placements is important in determining the suitability and quality of care provided in specific placements but is not the primary purpose of Back-Up Planning. Option D: Transitioning children into group homes may be a solution in some cases but is not the primary purpose of having Back-Up Planning in place for ongoing care if the current caregiver is unable to continue.
