Social worker and family

We provide a variable degree of supervision according to need:

  • Supported
  • Guided - Provides active and enabling intervention to promote positive relationships and positive change
  • Supervised - Individual supervision of contact with supervisor in constant sight and sound of the child.
  • Supervised Plus - As supervised and includes court appropriate recordings.
  • Assessed

We also run group sessions, as an affordable alternative to individual sessions, twice a week, and out of hours contact sessions for working parents one evening and one Saturday morning a month. (These sessions are not suitable for assessed contact).

We understand that family contact is a finely balanced, sensitive issue for parents, children and professionals. Our contact supervisors are trained to manage the personal and professional issues facing children and parents in difficult circumstances.
