Florida Child Welfare Case Manager Certification Practice Exam 2026 – The Comprehensive All-in-One Guide to Success!

If a parent denies a counselor access to the child, it is important for the counselor to first document this refusal and then consult with their supervisor. This allows the supervisor to be aware of the situation and offer guidance on how to proceed. Forcing entry to see the child could potentially escalate the situation and put both the counselor and child in danger. Leaving and doing nothing also does not address the issue and could potentially harm the child's well-being. Reporting the parent to the police should only be done in extreme situations where the child's safety is at risk or there is evidence of abuse.
