Supervised Contact Services

Why Does Family Action Provide Supervised Contact Services? Family Action believes that good relationships lie at the heart of stable families and are the foundation of a child’s ability to thrive and achieve their potential.
Not all children are fortunate enough to have a stable family life all of the time, which is why we provide a range of supported and supervised contact services for separated and divorced families.

The supervised contact services are provided in three separate locations, Peterborough and the London Boroughs of Hackney and Lambeth.

What We Do

Ensure the safety of children during contact visits.
Provide safe, accessible and stimulating environments where parents and children (including non-resident parents and other members of their families) are encouraged to re-establish, develop and enjoy their relationships.
Seek to enhance parenting skills and the quality of family relationships.

Encourage and support parents, when it is appropriate and safe to do so, to take responsibility for their own future family contact arrangements.

Access family support services to further assist families referred for supervised contact (Brixton and Peterborough).

Provide high quality and timely reports for courts as required.

Provide comprehensive child and family assessments.

Tailor our services to meet more complex needs, including the provision of life-story/identity work, domestic abuse services and mediation services.

We are experienced and skilled at working in partnership, particularly with local authorities and CAFCASS (Children and Families Courts Advisory and Support Service), courts and service users and believe that this maximises the benefit that our services bring to families.
