Before a child can begin unsupervised or overnight visits with a parent, what must the counselor do?

  1. Submit a new case plan

  2. Complete an updated home study

  3. Secure the approval of the parent's attorney

  4. Staff the case with the child protection team

The correct answer is: Complete an updated home study

The counselor must complete an updated home study before a child can begin unsupervised or overnight visits with a parent. This is because the home study provides insight into the parent's living situation and determines whether it is a safe and suitable environment for the child. Option A is incorrect because submitting a new case plan is not directly related to the parent's ability to have unsupervised visits with their child. Option C is incorrect because the counselor does not need approval from the parent's attorney; their main concern is the child's well-being. Option D is incorrect because while staffing the case with the child protection team may be necessary in some cases, it is not the required step for a child to begin unsupervised or overnight visits with a parent. Overall, completing an updated home study is the most crucial and necessary step in this scenario.
