Visits

Generally, there is no general advice. If the bio relationships are healthy and the bio relatives are healthy, then visits can be positive. If the bio family has been inappropriate then it is NOT in the children's best interests for there to be visits as this undercuts your role as one who protects the child and will keep them safe. If you continue to bring a child to visits with a person who has maltreated the child this is damaging to your relationship with the child.

I hope this answers your questions.
