5.3.5 The Home Visit
Home Visits are required for all Family Assessments.
When making the home visit to complete a family assessment, the first phase begins with a review of the exterior of the home. The worker should document in the CPS-1 all concerns in clear and observable terminology. The exterior of the home often provides staff with preliminary information about the family. It may allow the staff person to address:
- Child’s Safety
- Family household safety;
- Worker safety; and
- Dangerous environmental concerns.
