## Text

Section 301
Section 301.30  Introduction
Placement or substitute care
services means the care of children for whom the Department is legally
responsible who require a living arrangement away from their families due to
abuse, neglect, dependency, voluntary surrender of parental rights or consent to
adopt by a specified person, or voluntary placement agreement and for whom the
Department has determined that family preservation services are not appropriate
because such services are not in the child's best interest or would not protect
the child from imminent risk of harm.  Placement services include foster family
or relative home care, care provided in a group home or child care institution
or other institution. Placement is intended to be a temporary situation for the
children during the time that the parents' ability to care for the child is
being evaluated or the parents are receiving services to alleviate the problems
in the home so the family can be reunited. However, there may be times when it
is in the best interests of the child to seek a permanent placement away from
the child's family. In these instances a permanency goal other than family
reunification is sought. The complete range of permanency goals is described in
89 Ill. Adm. Code 315 (Permanency Planning).
