Caseworker Visitation Sample Clauses

Caseworker Visitation. For the performance category of caseworker visits with children in care, the CSA requires DHS to report on two measures: the frequency of caseworker visits, which is defined as the number of required monthly visits completed with children in care; and, continuity of visits by the same caseworker. At this time, DHS is only required to report on the frequency of caseworker visits. DHS and the Co-Neutrals agreed that it would not be reasonable at this early stage of the reform to establish a baseline and measurable targets for continuity of visits as the state is phasing out the use of secondary workers whose responsibilities include conducting the required monthly child visits. Because DHS is transitioning the responsibility for child visits to the primary caseworker in all permanency cases, with minor exceptions allowed, there will be a lack of continuity of caseworker visits until this transition is complete. This change in practice is not due for completion until January 1, 2014, and DHS and the Co-Neutrals are currently working to establish a baseline and target for the first of two continuity measures outlined in the Metrics Plan. For frequency of visits, DHS is reporting in two parts: the percentage of the total minimum number of required monthly face-to-face contacts that took place during the reporting period between any caseworker and children in care for at least one calendar month during the reporting period and the same percentage of face-to-face visits with primary caseworkers only.

Caseworker Visitation. The CSA requires that DHS establish performance targets for two measures on caseworker visits (CSA Section 2.10): the frequency of caseworker visits, which is defined as the number of required monthly visits completed with children in care; and, continuity of visits by the same caseworker. At this time, DHS is only required to report on the frequency of caseworker visits. For frequency of visits, the Metrics Plan establishes that DHS will report the following: 3.1 The percentage of the total minimum number of required monthly face-to- face contacts that took place during the reporting period between caseworkers and children in xxxxxx care for at least 1 calendar month during the reporting period.” The second indicator is the same, but includes only visits made by primary case- workers: 3.2 The percentage of the total minimum number of required monthly face-to- face contacts that took place during the reporting period between primary caseworkers and children in xxxxxx care for at least 1 calendar month during the reporting period.” DHS and the Co-Neutrals agreed that DHS would not begin recording data on continuity of visits until January 2014, with reporting to begin in July 2014. As reflected in the Metrics Plan, DHS and the Co-Neutrals agreed that it would not be reasonable to establish a baseline and measurable targets for continuity of visits while the state was phasing out the use of secondary workers whose responsibilities include conducting the required monthly child visits. DHS committed to end the use of secondary workers across the state by January 2014; however, the Co-Neutrals approved DHS’ request to postpone this target date until July 1, 2014. This delay may affect the Co-Neutrals’ ability to provide a final assessment of DHS’ efforts to achieve progress in providing children in care continuity of visits with the same primary caseworker.

However, as noted above, DHS in response to the pandemic called for monthly visits to be conducted virtually from mid-March until June 1, 2020 in an effort to protect children, families and staff from the spread of the virus. Further, also in response to the pandemic, the Children’s Bureau under the federal Administration for Children and Families issued guidance establishing that child welfare agencies may conduct child visits through video conferencing in order to meet the federal requirement for monthly visits in the residence of a child in custody. Table 13 below shows the number and percentage of visits DHS reported as complete that were conducted virtually each month from March through June 2020.
