  2. Visits are associated with a higher rate of children not having to be removed from their parent’s home.

  3. Children are traumatized and experience grief and loss when placed in foster care.

  4. Visits lead to children being safer in foster care, in relative care and in their parent’s home.

  5. Permanency (reunification, adoption, guardianship and PPLA) occurs more frequently and in less time when workers visit children.

  6. Caseworkers visits are associated with a higher rate of siblings being placed together.

  7. “I often will not tell you that there’s a lock on the refrigerator, or I have to ask permission to use the shampoo, or that I got socks for Christmas and their kids got toys.” -Words from Foster Youth

  8. Children and Youth’s needs are more likely to be met when a worker visits regularly.

  9. Children’s connections are maintained. When workers visit children they are more likely to meet with parents and to arrange child/parent visits.
