What is the frequency of face-to-face contact required by the receiving state in ICPC cases?

In cases involving the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC), the frequency of face-to-face contact required by the receiving state is indeed set at every 30 days. This is established to ensure the well-being of children placed across state lines and to monitor their adjustment and safety in the new environment. Regular visits help maintain communication between the child welfare system and the caregivers in the receiving state. The 30-day timeframe provides a consistent opportunity for evaluations and necessary adjustments to services or supervision, promoting stability and security for the child. This requirement reflects the importance of close oversight in interstate placements and highlights the ongoing responsibility of child welfare officials to uphold best practices in safeguarding the welfare of children.
