Normally how often are SW visits with a foster child? Also, what do you do when the SW visits? Do you stay in the same room or give them privacy?
I don't know about your state, but here the cw has to have face-to-face contact with each child on their caseload at least once every 30 days.
As to whether, or not to be in the same room it is up to the cw and somewhat dependent upon the childs age. I have never had a cw ask to be left alone with a child.

I would usually have the Sw come right befor FD got home from school. This was great incase we had to talk about anything without Fd being there. Then Fd would come home talk with cw while having a snack , going over what she did in school, playing etc. plus Cw would not stay for more then an hr or so because it would be time for homeowrk, dinner, etc.. i usually atayed int he room or in the kitchen and they would be in the family room right off the kitchen.
