A home visit with parents is face-to-face contact within their residence and provides an ongoing opportunity to assess the family.  A successful home visit incorporates effective communication, partnership building with families, and an opportunity for the ongoing assessment of:

  • Safety
  • Risk
  • Services
  • Parents’ strengths and needs
  • Observation of interaction with children/family
