Handover Service

Handovers can often be used as a way to progress from Supported or Supervised Contact to Unsupervised Contact. Depending on your circumstances, it’s possible that a professional could help with this.

Handovers helps a child or young person move from one parent to another in a safe and secure manner with a Supervisor present. Handovers can be done at a Children’s Contact Centre or other delegated places in the community. Parents won’t have to meet.

The parent will then take the child/ren out for the duration of the visit, bringing them back to the allocated drop off point at the agreed time.

Handovers might need to take place due to a court order, or it might be required due to communication breaking down due to either a divorce or separation between parents.

At Families Contact, we ensure that the child’s safety is at the forefront, and depending on the unique circumstances, we have a team of professional Contact Supervisors and fully trained Independent Social Workers who are on hand to help with our Handovers.
