Contact Supervision
Generally referrals will usually be made by the local authority, another child contact centre, a court, CAFCASS or by a self referral.
Our staff can facilitate contact at your local centre or within the community. Our supervised contact supports physical safety and emotional wellbeing of a child whilst they have contact with their non-resident parent.
We can help to re-establish contact when there has been a significant time lapse of no contact.We can assist parents in building and sustaining positive relationships between themselves and their child.

Welfare Checks
Our community welfare checks are carried out by our trained staff to check on the welfare of children at a particular address. Any identified concerns or risks will be recorded and correctly identified by the individual carrying out the welfare check.
Fragile Placements
Holding hands provides 24hr intervention targeted at children/young people who are already in the care system but with a placement that has broken down. We can provide accommodation and a team of workers to safeguard the child/young person whilst a new placement is found; this service is bespoke to the needs of the young person/child.
