As a Youth Worker at Anglicare, I supervise family time visits between children in out-of-home care and their families, primarily working with children on restoration orders following child protection involvement. I facilitate contact in a safe, structured, and supportive environment that prioritises the safety and wellbeing of the child. During visits, I closely observe family interactions, parenting behaviours, and emotional responses while continuously assessing risk and responding appropriately to any safety concerns or escalating situations.

A key responsibility of my role is producing detailed, objective case notes and reports based on my observations. These records are critical in documenting family dynamics, identifying risk and protective factors, and informing case planning and decision-making by caseworkers and the court. My work requires strong professional judgement, clear documentation, and a trauma-informed approach when supporting children and families. I also travel regularly to facilitate visits across different locations and maintain communication with caseworkers to ensure accurate reporting and continuity of care.
