When a parent discloses or a worker/team member discovers that the parent has a criminal history that meets the 210.117 RSMo criteria, and/or the parent is incarcerated, the team shall discuss and make a recommendation to the court regarding continued visitation between the subject parent and their child, as well as include the need to emphasize concurrent planning. These recommendations should only be made when safety structures have been put in place to ensure the child’s safety during visits related to contact with family, including the parent with the criminal history.
