Referrals

At Child and Family Connect we accept referrals from courts, solicitors, social services, CAFCASS and self-referrals. There is a charge of £90 for 12 sessions.

Child and Family Connect facilitate Supported Contact. This service is not suitable for supervised contact. For more information regarding the two types of contact, please read our document below:

Referrals from a Solicitor or CAFCASS Officer:

Before we can offer a place at one of our contact centres, we require the following to be returned to us:

• A completed referral form
• A signed copy of the centre rules
• Administration Fee - £90
• If a court order is in place, we also require a copy before contact can commence

Self Referrals:

If self-referring please ensure you provide us with the following:

• A signed referral form from both parties is required
• A signed copy of the centre rules
• Administration Fee - £90
  
• If a court order is in place, we also require a copy before contact can commence

When the referral form has been completed and returned it is reviewed and if the referral is suitable for our service, the family will be offered a place at their requested centre.

Prior to commencing at the centre, the parents will be offered individual appointments for a pre visit interview. This is an opportunity to look around the centre and ask questions relating to the contact.

We operate a staggered arrival and departure at all our centres.
