This handout explores the concept of permanency - the need and right of all children to form nurturing relationships as members of a family. Family support services for children with disability should embrace the permanency perspective, which focuses on the development of relationships and a sense of belonging, rather than the placement perspective, which focuses on quality of care. Easy to read fact sheets.
