Maintaining family relationships during care proceedings or after domestic abuse can be complex and emotionally challenging. At Mayday Domestic Abuse Services, we offer professional Contact Services delivered by qualified social workers experienced in working with children and families.
Our services are designed to prioritise the safety and well-being of children, while fostering meaningful and positive connections with their parents and family members. We ensure a neutral, supportive, and child-focused environment, tailored to meet the unique needs of each family.
Supervised Contact
Supervised contact ensures that interactions between children and family members take place in a safe, structured setting under the close supervision of our experienced social workers.
What We Provide:
- A safe space where children can engage with their parent or family member without risk of harm.
- Detailed, impartial records of each session, which can be used for court or safeguarding purposes.
- Support for parents to promote positive interactions and address any challenges during contact.
Supported Contact
Supported contact is ideal for families who do not require strict
supervision but benefit from light-touch oversight to facilitate meaningful interactions.
What We Provide:
- Professional guidance to support and encourage positive engagement between children and parents.
- A safe, welcoming environment to help rebuild trust and strengthen family bonds.
