Child protection
Social workers must visit children on child protection plans at home at least every 10 days or as directed by the conference chair.
The child should be seen at every visit and where appropriate should be seen alone and/or awake.
The Home visits policy sets out the requirements for conducting and recording CP home visits and what action to take where visits cannot go ahead or concerns escalate as a result of the visit.
For guidance on placement visits to looked after children please refer to the CLA visits policy; details can be found here.
