At any time prior to an adjudicatory proceeding, the court, on its own motion or the motion of a party, may set the matter for a judicial settlement conference. At such conference the court may take admissions and make the child a ward, or may dismiss the petition in favor of an agreement between Social Services and the parent or custodian to engage in remedial services. If a voluntary agreement is sought by the parties, the court must find that this resolution is in the child’s best interests and that the parent or custodian understands the obligations and consequences of the agreement. Such agreement shall be in writing and state the remedial service plan agreed to and how such plan will be carried out. No voluntary plan under this section shall take more than 6 months to fulfill unless approved by the court and reviewed by the court within 6 months. Social Services shall review the family’s progress at a minimum of every 30 days.
