Interventions to improve supervised contact visits between children in out of home care and their parents: a systematic review (original) (raw)

2016, Child & Family Social Work

AI-generated Abstract

This systematic review examines the evidence regarding supervised contact visits between children in out-of-home care (OOHC) and their parents, aiming to assist policy makers in critiquing and improving these practices. The review identifies the primary purpose of contact as supporting relationships between children and their parents, highlights concerns about the lack of empirical basis for prescribed frequencies of contact, and emphasizes the need for individualized approaches and quality supervision. Key findings indicate that inclusive decision-making and specialized training for all parties involved are vital for the development of effective contact visit programs.
