The Agency’s Working Standards
Child visitation monitoring is not a regulated profession. Therefore, we emphasize to our independent monitors to follow the judicial code policy and provide ethical monitoring of court-ordered cases for at-risk children.
Each of our contracted independent professional monitors has been thoroughly trained in accordance with Administrative Office of the Court's Standards of Practice 5.20 and Family Code Section 3200.5.
We are also governed by the guidelines for Supervised Visitation by the California Judicial Council.
All monitors have received training on the following:
Child Abuse and Reporting mandates per Section 11166 of the Penal Code
Child Development
Domestic Violence
Substance Abuse
Conflict Resolution
Many more
Our professional independent monitors receive ongoing Continuing Education and Training and updates on the new codes and procedures in the field of supervised visitation.
In addition, each professional monitor has a background clearance from
Trust line, and most have CPR/ Medical Fragile training.

What Happens at the Supervised Visitation?
During the supervised visitation, the professional monitor will remain within sight and hearing of the child at all times. The monitored parent may choose the place for the visits. However, the first supervised visit will be at a public location. If there are no restrictions on the court order, the outings can be at: the movies, the park, meals at a restaurant, an amusement park, or at his/her home. There will be no talking about the case or the other parent during the supervised visitations. The parents will have no contact with each other when the child is being exchanged. The professional monitor will enforce the supervised visits in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Practice 5.20. An activity report will be prepared after each visitation. A declaration will be prepared, if requested.
