Supported contact helps to keep children in touch with parents. Parents do not have to meet and several families use the facilities at the same time.
This is a form of contact where the level of risk is assessed to be lower than might be the case for supervised contact. It is also used as a way to progress from supervised contact.
In supported contact, direct observations are not made and reports are not written. Staff or volunteers will be present to ensure the comfort of those engaging in the service.
