I have been to several Foster Care reviews - typically there are one or two DSS "reviewers" and one community volunteer. In our state they review how things are going overall, then review the specific tasks in the service plan. They rate bparent's progress toward service plan goals as "sufficient" "partial" or "insufficient". They also can make recommendations for services/goals. They do also rate CW and Fparent progress toward treatment plan goals, but they are consistently "sufficient".
It can be intense - it is hard to watch bparents defending their behavior.
It can, depending on the players, be an opportunity to advocate for services. At one foster care review I talked about the difficulty my fson was having after visits (total three hour meltdown after each visit for three months) and the result was a recommendation that visits be shortened from 3 to 2 hours.
