Child Interviews
Child interviews are a small group of children at one time.  Child interviews are for the
purposes of general information and general well-being and safety. Children have a right
to refuse an interview. If this occurs, please document the reason the child refused an
interview.  This is not an investigation. This should not evolve into counseling.  FFS and
CFS are mandated reporters to CPS and law enforcement.  Do not promise children
anything. Do not discuss the child’s legal case.  Redirect issues that move away from the
intent of this site visit report and encourage them to speak with their clinician/case
manager or attorney/legal services provider.  If you have any immediate safety concerns,
please contact the FFS Supervisor.
UC may be interviewed as a small group at one time in an informal setting.  If any
child responds in the negative or "NO" then mark it as "NO" but you can add any
comments.

Trends and Follow Up
Utilize the trends and follow up sections of the report for a record of your overall findings,
reporting to your supervisor, and to check on the program’s improvements from month to
month, as well as have a record in the event a corrective action is required for identified
trends.
This is the final section where you record your findings for the visit, and what you left in
place for the program to follow up on. Share this with your supervisor, PO, and CFS. Also,
it is fine to give it to your program so that when you go back to the program, you have a
record of what has already been addressed and whether progress has been made.
Please feel free to engage your supervisor along the way should you have questions or
need support with anything. Remember that this visit and form is a tool for you to use to
help the programs improve. Lastly, remember you are a mandated reporter to CPS and
law enforcement.  For any immediate safety concerns or findings, contact your supervisor.
