| Visitation Plan:
A visitation plan specifies a set of planned visits between one or many clients and one or many visitors.
Visitation plans specify the planned interactions that occur between the one or more client(s) and one or more visitors. Visitation plans, which can be court ordered, or mutually agreed upon by the agency and the family, typically specify when, how and where a visitation occurs as well as the frequency and the duration of the planned interactions. When creating a visitation plan, the caseworker must identify the participants involved. A client can have multiple visitation plans active at any time.
Example Daniel Smith is a 18 month child who has been placed in a foster care home as it was deemed by the child welfare agency that he was not safe staying at home with his mother, Julie Smith.
The child welfare caseworker dealing with Daniel creates an outcome plan for the family. The caseworker creates a visitation plan for Daniel and Julie to maintain relationships. The visitation plan outlines that Julie must make two face-to-face visits per month.
