Or. Admin. Code § 413-070-0830 - Visitation Rights
(1) The child or young adult, a parent or
guardian, and each sibling have the right to visit one another while the child
or young adult is in substitute care. The child or young adult, the parent or
guardian, and each sibling have the right to visit as often as reasonably
necessary to maintain and enhance their attachment to one another. The
Department will make reasonable modifications and will provide auxiliary aids
or services to individuals with disabilities as needed to facilitate
visitation, unless doing so will fundamentally alter the nature of visitation
or create an undue administrative or financial burden.
(2) The Department will prohibit or cancel
visits, unless otherwise ordered by the court, when:
(a) There is reason to believe acts or
omissions of a parent or guardian would result in child abuse during the
visit;
(b) The safety of the child
or young adult cannot be managed by supervision;
(c) The visit does not meet the best
interests of the child or young adult; or
(d) A court order prohibits visits.
(3) When Department resources
alone cannot meet the visit and contact needs of the parent and child or young
adult, the caseworker must solicit help from family and community
resources.
(4) If a parent or
guardian objects to the contact and visit requirements and limitations that the
Department imposes, the parent or guardian may speak with the caseworker or
caseworker's supervisor, request a Family Decision Meeting or seek juvenile
court review of the requirements and limitations.
(5) If a child or young adult in the legal
custody of the Department objects to the contact and visit requirements and
limitations the Department imposes, the child or young adult may speak with the
caseworker or caseworker's supervisor, request a Family Decision Meeting or
seek juvenile court review of the requirements and limitations.
