938.365(2g)(c)
(c) In cases where the juvenile has not been placed outside the home, the report shall contain a description of efforts that have been made by all parties concerned toward meeting the objectives of treatment, care or rehabilitation, an explanation of why these efforts have not yet succeeded in meeting the objective, and anticipated future planning for the juvenile.

subd. 1. relating to reasonable efforts to achieve the goal of the juvenile's permanency plan and the findings specified in
subd. 2. on a case-by-case basis based on circumstances specific to the juvenile and shall document or reference the specific information on which those findings are based in the order issued under
s. 938.355. An order that merely references
subd. 1. or
2. without documenting or referencing that specific information in the order or an amended order that retroactively corrects an earlier order that does not comply with this subdivision is not sufficient to comply with this subdivision.
938.365(2m)(ad)1.1. If the court finds that any of the circumstances specified in
s. 938.355 (2d) (b) 1. to
4. applies with respect to a parent, the court shall hold a hearing within 30 days after the date of that finding to determine the permanency plan for the juvenile.

A foster parent, treatment foster parent, or other physical custodian described in
s. 48.62 (2) who receives notice of a hearing under
par. (ad) 2. or
sub. (2) and an opportunity to be heard under this paragraph does not become a party to the proceeding on which the hearing is held solely on the basis of receiving that notice and opportunity to be heard.
