What is the primary responsibility of an Intact Family Caseworker?

  1. Arrange adoptions

  2. Provide therapy for children

  3. Work with families whose children are in out-of-home care

  4. Work with families whose children remain at home with parents

The correct answer is: Work with families whose children remain at home with parents

The primary responsibility of an Intact Family Caseworker is to work with families whose children remain at home with their parents. These caseworkers are tasked with providing services and support to ensure the safety and well-being of children in their own homes, as opposed to working with families whose children are in out-of-home care (option C), arranging adoptions (option A), or providing therapy for children (option B). It is important for Intact Family Caseworkers to focus on strengthening and supporting families to prevent the need for out-of-home placement whenever possible.
