§5.11
Informal Supervision
If you
find that the child is a person described by WIC §300 but do not declare the child to be a dependent, you
may [WIC §360(b)]:
- Order
that family maintenance services be provided; and
- Order
the child to remain with his or her parent or guardian under the
informal supervision of the social worker.
The child
and parent must be able to successfully complete the program within
6 to 12 months. [WIC §§301(a), 360(b).]
If the parent is a dependent at the time that a program of supervision is offered, and if counsel has been appointed for the parent, the program of supervision must not be undertaken until the parent has consulted with his or her counsel. [WIC §§301(c).]
