Supported Contact

NRS Child Contact Centre offers the facility of supported contact for those families who parent apart. This is a safe space for parents and children to be together. Supported contact means that this is not supervised, the children will be under the guidance of the non-resident parent and centre staff will check on the family periodically.

The following is our referral process:

Referrals for supported contact can be received by Solicitors or by self-referrals. (If you are self-referring then both parties would need to complete their own referral).
Once the referral is received by the Centre Manager at NRS Child Contact Centre, a desktop risk assessment is completed
Parents will be invited to attend the office or the pre-visit meeting may be completed virtually either by Zoom or Microsoft Teams. These meetings always take place separately.
The Centre Manager will ask a series of questions to enable her to make a full judgement on the case and enable NRSCC to complete their own risk assessment.
Once both meetings have been completed, contact can then be scheduled.
Parties will be asked to arrive at staggered times
NRSCC will check on the progress of contact, but there will not be written reports unless there is a specific safeguarding or health incident.
