Bringing Children to Visit at Stanley CI: Who Must Be on the Approved List and Supervision Rules

At Stanley CI, every visitor must be on the PIOC-approved visiting list. This applies to adults and children alike - kids can't tag along unless they've been approved too.

Stanley CI limits visits to six people at a time. That headcount includes everyone - adults and children together.

• ✓ Count everyone in your group together (adults + kids) toward the six-person maximum
• ✓ Confirm your total group size before you go so you don’t arrive with too many visitors

The rules for minors are straightforward but firm. Children must be approved visitors, and they count toward the six-person limit. For video visits, anyone under 18 has to be listed as an additional visitor and supervised by an authorized adult throughout the session. A minor can't join a video visit alone or sit off-camera without that adult present.

1. Make sure the child is approved to visit - minors need to be on the PIOC-approved visiting list before they can participate.
2. Plan for an authorized adult to supervise - for video visits, a minor must be accompanied/supervised by an authorized adult visitor the whole time.
3. Count the child as a visitor - for video visits, visitors under 18 must be listed as an additional visitor, so include them when you’re staying within the six-visitor limit.

Practical Tips

• ✓ Get children added to the PIOC-approved visiting list well ahead of time (don’t wait until the day you want to visit)
• ✓ Plan for an authorized adult to be responsible for the child throughout the visit, including video visits
• ✓ Double-check your headcount before you go; the limit is six total visitors, and kids count toward that limit

Keep these rules in mind and you'll sidestep the most common headaches: get everyone approved beforehand, stay within the six-person limit, and arrange adult supervision for any minors - especially for video visits. A little planning goes a long way.
