What is Supervised Contact?
Supervised Contact is when a child or young person spends time with someone close to them who they do not live with (usually a parent or other family member). Supervised contact means that a worker will remain present at all times, and it is usually overseen by a professional or in some cases a family member. Contact may be supervised to make sure that the time spent between a child and there loved one, is in their best interest.
Referrals for supervised contact can come from a range of referrers including Courts, CAFCASS officers, parents and family members.
