The caseworker talks with each child and parent separately and together. The separate conversations are important as they allow the child or parents to bring up concerns that they might not share in front of others.

During the monthly or more frequent visits, the child’s caseworker discusses with the child and parents the progress in addressing the Family Plan of Service (FPOS) since the last visit. The caseworker asks them about what has gone well, what are the problems or difficulties, and how have they handled these. The caseworker asks them about their use of family and community support and resources, as needed. The caseworker reviews expectations and progress in addressing the FPOS.
