Family Visiting Service For post separation families experiencing conflict over contact.
What is a Children's contact centre? A Children's Contact Centre aims to provide a safe, neutral, child focused environment in which visiting arrangements for children are facilitated.
Sometimes visiting arrangements can be frustrating and stressful for all those involved and staff at the Children's Contact Centre understand that contact issues can be highly emotional.
Our counsellors will also work with families towards resolving difficult contact issues.
Children's contact centre offers Changeovers These aim to avoid unnecessary conflict and stress for children and their parents. Supervised visits These occur in a child-focused environment which is warm, friendly and safe. Offsite supervised visits These can occur at the discretion of senior Children's Contact Centre staff after a full assessment at the Centre.
Our Staff The Children's Contact Centre has professional staff who are experienced in working with children and have knowledge of the problems associated with post-separation difficulties. The team has a mixture of both male and female staff who are sensitive to a diversity of family backgrounds and special needs.
The Children's Contact Service
How does the Children's contact centre work? If people require either our supervised changeover or visiting service, they need to phone 9263 2050 to arrange an appointment for East Perth and Leederville; or phone 9301 8555 for an appointment in North - Kingsley and Joondalup.
Both parties will be individually interviewed in order to complete an intake assessment form.
Families can clarify matters of concern and discuss what problems need to be resolved at the interview. The service commences when families have come to an agreement and all selection criteria have been met.
The counsellors will also continue to work with families regarding contact issues with a view to long term resolution where possible. |
