IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SUPERVISED VISITATION PROVIDERS 

According to Family Code Section 3200, all providers of supervised visitation must operate their programs in compliance with the “Uniforms Standards of Practice for Providers of Supervised Visitation,” which can be found in the California Rules of Court, Standards of Judicial Administration, Standard 5.20. Therefore, when selecting one of the following supervised visitation monitors, it is very important that you, as parents, be familiar with the Standards of Practice and use good judgment when selecting any monitor.  

Per Standard 5.20, the Court requires each provider on the referral list to register with TrustLine. TrustLine requires all caregivers listed on its registry to pass a background screening that qualifies them as childcare providers. All persons listed on TrustLine have been cleared through a fingerprint check of records at the California Department of Justice. They have no disqualifying criminal convictions or substantiated child abuse reports in California that would prevent them from being a childcare provider. For further verification, you may call TrustLine at 1-800-822-8490.  

Providers on this list are required to provide proof of the 24 hours of training in specified topics per Family Code 3200.5 (e) (10) (i - xi); (B). Additionally, providers on this list are required to complete an online course required for mandated child abuse reporters that the State Department of Social Services provides.
