SUPERVISED MONITOR TRAINING

The Supervised Monitor Training class is a 24 hour training to get you set up to run your own business. You will receive a certificate of completion. All students must attend ALL 24 hours in order to have learned The Standards and Practices 5.20 and The Family Code 3200.5 for Professional Supervised Providers in order to practice for this field.


 

Supervised Visitation Providers

The Supervised Visitation Provider is there to assure that a child can have safe contact with a non-custodial parent and should make every effort to keep the children safe. The provider may be a family member, a friend, or a paid professional.  The provider must be present at all times during the visit, listen to what is being said, and pay close attention to the children’s behavior. If necessary, the provider may interrupt or end a visit. All providers are required to report suspected child abuse.


 

The law says there are 2 types of Supervised Visitation Providers:

 

Non-Professional providers, and Professional providers.

 

A Non-Professional provider is usually a family member or friend who is not paid for providing the supervised visitation service. Professional providers charge a fee for the service. They are experienced in and trained to provide supervised visitation services. A court order will usually say which type of provider you have to use to supervise these visits.

 

​

All providers must follow the Uniform Standards of Practice for Providers of Supervised Visitation outlined in Standard 5.20 of the California Standards of Judicial Administration and Family Code section 3200.5. The court form Declaration of Supervised Visitation Provider (Form FL-324) which providers can fill out to let the court know about their qualifications can help you understand what the law requires for both types of supervised visitation providers.

 

​
