The home study assessment, including interviews with each member of the household, as determined age appropriate, is required. Family interviews shall include, but are not limited to, parents’ philosophy of child rearing, behavior management, discipline, problem-solving and any other topics outlined on the home study assessment.

 

There shall be a minimum of three interviews with the prospective foster care provider to allow the licensing specialist to view the property, meet the household members, experience home structure and routine, interview all parties together and separately, etc. In-person meetings are best practice and should be completed as a priority, however opportunities for virtual meetings are allowable. The licensing specialist must determine the sufficient number of visits to gather necessary details to properly assess the prospective foster care provider and make a recommendation to license the home.
