CAS Safety Considerations

 

 

Safety considerations include:

  • To support the building of a mutually satisfying relationship between the parent and child when it involves teaching skills to parents
  • The reasons supervision are necessary (i.e., sexual abuse, domestic violence, mental illness) are of a nature that preclude unsupervised visitation because of the emotional impact that contact may trigger in the child
  • The parent is unable or unwilling to abide by restrictions on discussions of subjects identified as upsetting to the child
  • The parent exhibits behaviors and/or has a diagnosed condition that might place the child's safety in jeopardy
  • There is insufficient information about the parent's ability to assure the child's safety
  • The parent continues to deny or fails to accept responsibility for the actions which placed the child's safety in jeopardy or caused serious physical or emotional harm
  • Visits may be supervised for reasons of safety, and evaluation of the parent-child relationship
  • Case advisers can appraise a parent's motivation and willingness to cooperate with the visiting plan. The case adviser will be able to observe the parent’s interactions to evaluate how the parent relates to the child, whether there is an improvement in this area over time, whether the parent is able to plan appropriate activities for the child and whether the parent is able to care for and protect the child during visits.
