Marymead Supported Contact Program

Marymead’s Supported Contact Program provides a venue for supervised contact to take place between children and their non-residential parents.

The program is an independent, impartial service which aims to be fair, friendly and supportive. Staff aim to create a safe and friendly environment where parents and children can come and enjoy their time together. Their focus is on the needs and best interests of the children, as well as supporting parents in identified areas.
