Supervised Contact
Our supervised contact service offers a supportive and structured environment for families experiencing challenges in maintaining contact between children and non-resident parents or caregivers.
Our goal is to facilitate meaningful and safe interactions while ensuring the well-being and best interests of the children involved.
Here's what our supervised contact service provides:
Supervised Visitation Sessions:
We offer supervised visitation sessions in a safe and neutral environment where children can maintain contact with non-resident parents or caregivers. Our trained supervisors oversee these visits, ensuring that interactions are appropriate, respectful, and conducive to the child's emotional and physical safety.
Oranga Tamariki, Court-Ordered and Voluntary Services:
Our supervised contact service is available to families involved in Oranga Tamariki and court-ordered visitation arrangements, as well as those seeking voluntary supervision to facilitate safe and structured contact between children and non-resident parents or caregivers.
