Foster parents often forget that their home is now a state-licensed or certified residential care facility subject to safety inspections that could come at any time.
Michael Quinn, a 25-year-veteran social agency professional, guides parents through a virtual 10-station tour and inspection of a typical foster home. He looks for dangerous conditions that might go unnoticed until seen as a safety hazard to children -- everything from the temperature of hot tap water to unsecured old freezers. Parents assume the role of regulator with self-scout house inspections, noting deficiencies and making necessary corrections or repairs.
This course offers home safety tips and compliance tools including:
- Self-inspection checklists
- Unusual problems
- Main inspection stations
- Yard and pool safety
- Charts for self-scouted inspections
Running time: approximately 35 minutes
Includes: 1 Interactive DVD, Viewer Guide, reproducible handout and questionnaire
