How often must the caseworker visit the child placed in my home?

Children in CA custody or receiving Family Voluntary Services (FVS) or Family Reconciliation Services (FRS) must receive private, individual face-to-face health and safety visits every calendar month, specifically:

• The first visit must occur within one week (seven calendar days) after the child's initial date of placement or any change of placement;

• Placement of a child is not considered a health and safety visit and does not meet the health and safety visitation policy ; and

• The majority of health and safety visits must occur in the home where the child resides.
