Safe Balance Child Contact Service

Supervised Visits
Supervised contact is needed where separated parents are experiencing high levels of conflict or/ and unable to make arrangements for the child to spend time with the other parent/carer.
• Fears that the child may be abducted
• Been a while since the other parent has seen the child, reintroducing parent or significant other
• Separation due to Domestic Violence

Supervised Handovers / Changeovers
At the start of a contact visit, a child needs to be handed over to the parent or to the other family member who they do not live with and then handed back to the other parent at the end of the visit.
In some cases:
• Parents has issues with meeting face-to-face
• Eliminate any potential conflict between parties
• Violence Restraining Orders (VRO)
