Inverclyde Family Contact Centre

Our Services

​

Introductory visit – We offer all parents and children the opportunity to visit the centre, prior to their first scheduled contact session. This allows the child/children to familiarise themselves with the setting and meet our staff members.  This visit also gives parents the opportunity to ask any questions they may have regarding contact.

 

Supported Contact - The centre provides a place where parents without residence can spend time with their child or children in a warm friendly environment.  We have a variety of comfortable rooms and spaces with age-appropriate toys where children and parents can develop healthy positive relationships with each other. We can also provide a written report explaining how each contact session has gone, if required.

 

 

Handovers - We provide a place where parents who don’t want to/can’t see each other can confidently hand over the child.  Parents arrive at separate entrances, the child will be greeted by staff or volunteers and is collected by the non-resident parent who will take the child out.  At the end of the visit the child is returned to the centre and collected by the parent with residence.
