How does a society's safety plan interact with an existing court-ordered parenting schedule?

A safety plan put in place by a children's aid society and an existing court-ordered parenting schedule aren't automatically the same thing, and they can end up pointing in different directions if a society's plan calls for restrictions - such as supervision or no unsupervised overnight stays - that the current family court order doesn't include. A safety plan is generally an agreement between a parent and the society, not a court order itself, so it doesn't automatically override the schedule a family court has already set.

In practice, though, ignoring a safety plan the society considers necessary can create real problems, even if it isn't technically a court order - a parent who disregards it risks the society escalating its involvement, which can then affect the family case regardless. The safer approach where the two conflict is to go back to the family court and ask for the existing order to be varied to reflect the safety plan's terms, at least on an interim basis, rather than trying to follow one and ignore the other. That keeps both processes aligned and avoids putting yourself in a position where you're accused of breaching either arrangement.
