Overview

Contact between a child and a parent or relative can be emotionally sensitive, especially where there are welfare concerns. Children deserve safe, positive and well-managed contact. Parents and professionals need reassurance that arrangements are managed fairly and professionally. Our supervised contact service provides a calm, structured setting where children can spend time with a parent or relative under the watch of an experienced practitioner.

OBK provides one-to-one supervised contact sessions in community or centre-based settings, with a written observation record after each session and full reports for court where required.

Who this service is for

  • Local authorities and IROs
  • Family courts in private and public law proceedings
  • Solicitors arranging contact for clients
  • Private clients with court-ordered contact
