• Gather Information: Review documents and records, interview the children, family members and professionals in their lives.

• Court Reports: Provide written reports to the court in preparation for all court proceedings.

• Attend Court: Advocate for the child’s best interests “Be the Safety Net”.

• Recommend Services: Ensure that the children are receiving appropriate services

• Monitor Case Plans and Court Orders: Assist the Court by reporting any deviation from what the court has ordered for the life of the case.

• Visit with the Child: maintain a consistent and regular visiting schedule with the child, minimum of once per month.
