What does the caseworker do/talk about with the child at the monthly visit?

CA’s Child Safety Policy (1100) requires all workers to observe the child and assess for present danger. They also:

• Meet privately with verbal children, in the home or another location to discuss:

  • Whether the child feels safe in the placement,

  • The child’s needs, wants and progress,

  • How the visits with their parent(s) and/or siblings are going,

  • Their interest and participation in normal childhood activities, and

  • Case activities, planning and permanent plan;

• Assess the child’s development, physical and emotional well-being
