A home visit with a child is face-to-face contact within their residence and provides an opportunity to assess the family. A successful home visit incorporates effective communication based on the child’s age and developmental level. In addition it aides in the relationship building between the child and the caseworker. A home visit should include the ongoing assessment of:
- Safety
- Risk
- Services
- Child vulnerability (social, emotional, behavioral, physical development)
- Family dynamics
