Supervised contact allows children to maintain relationships with family members they don’t live with, while ensuring their safety in a controlled setting. It’s commonly ordered by family courts when there are safeguarding concerns or disputes between parents.
Why Is Supervised Contact Needed?
- To safeguard children when there are risks of harm or emotional distress.
- To allow courts and social workers to assess a parent’s behaviour.
- To provide reassurance for both the custodial and non-custodial parent.
- To support a child’s emotional well-being by maintaining important family bonds.
Supervised contact is typically arranged via a Contact Centre or a family support service like Prevalent Care. Sessions are monitored by trained staff, with observation records often submitted to courts or social workers.
