Specialist Contact Services

Part of The Ashwood Practice Other Services

The contact service has access to a multi-disciplinary team offering a wide range of services for disrupted families:assessment of risk/contact viabilitypreparation of reports/provision of expert opinion for Matrimonial and Care ProceedingsClinical Mediation for separated parents in dispute about residence and contact for their children.Support groups for separating parentsFamily TherapyIndividual therapy for children and young peopleRe-introduction of estranged parentsContact by proxyManaged contact and the transition to unsupervised contact where feasible and appropriateContact for children living separately from their parents

We are careful about assessing risks to our clients and offer a range of trained supervisors. We do not use volunteers. All our supervisors are CRB checked and supported by the wider multi-disciplinary team. There will always be at least one other person on site who is not involved in the contact who can provide additional help in case of difficulty arising.

We work towards making contact possible even when there has been a dispute between parents. We work primarily with families where parents are involved in ongoing court proceedings. We aim to create a safe place for children to develop a good relationship with their absent parent(s) and/or other significant relatives.

The Ashwood Practice is a registered Contact Centre (NACCC) known as The Ashwood Contact Centre, a calm pleasant child-centred setting. We offer managed/supervised and therapeutic contact services for children of separated parents and for children living in alternative homes.

The Contact rooms are warm and comfortable with cooking and play facilities and a safe space to play outside. There are separate entrances for those clients who do not wish to meet and a security system in place in case of need.
