Supervised Contact

Ensuring safe interactions between children and non-resident family members

What is Supervised Contact?

The overarching goal of supervised contact is to maintain and foster positive relationships between children and their non-resident family members whilst ensuring the safety and welfare of the child.

The supervisor ensures that contact visits are conducted safely and appropriately, often in a neutral location. Moreover, they may intervene if necessary to address any issues that arise during the visit.
