Permanency Outcome 1

Children have permanency and stability in their living situations.

Item 4:
In the placement table, if there are two foster care episodes during the PUR, what reason is used for the first one? Would it be “not applicable, this is the current placement,” or “other” with an indication that the child returned home?

Reviewers should use “other” and explain the circumstances.
