Step 3: Case Plan adapted to include parent/child visitation.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
1 st Quarter Report: The Case Plan has been amended to include documentation of visits between parents and children. This is
currently being covered in the CPRS training, which will be complete at the end of January 2003. All staff is required to document
efforts to place siblings together.
2 nd Quarter Report: No Report due this quarter.
3 rd Quarter Report: ACHIEVED. See attached CPRS printouts. The Case Plan and Reporting System (CPRS) has been modified to
capture documentation of visits between parents and children. This system currently captures who visits the child and where the visits
occur. Efforts are in progress to improve the system so that the choice of visitation sites (e.g., the least restrictive setting possible) will,
also, be captured.
Concurrent with Case Plan modifications regarding visitations, discussed above, are on-going efforts between C&S staff and local
office staff. Their efforts assure that case plans: 1) identify time frames for the visits; 2) identify specific locations where the visits will
take place; 3) document family interaction during visits; 4) specify objectives of the visits; and 5) documents who should be notified if
visits change.
BARRIERS TO ACHIEVEMENT:
H5 ACTION STEPS: Goal #2
Step 4: Caseworkers are trained to include documentation of visits in case plan.
