English Legal System: Concurrent Planning
In the context of the English law, A Dictionary of Law provides the following legal concept of Concurrent Planning : (concurrent planning, twin-track planning)
The planning involved in placing certain children who are in local-authority care with carers who are approved to both foster and adopt. Initially, the plan requires that the carers should work constructively to return the child to its parents. If it becomes apparent that this will not happen within a reasonable time, the carers will continue to look after the child and apply to adopt him. The aim of concurrent planning is to reduce the number of moves experienced by a child in care.
