Time Together Child Contact Centre

Our service helps families to have contact with their children.

We deliver affordable supported contact sessions and supervised sessions enabling separating families to maintain contact with their children.

Time Together Child Contact Centre provides contact where there may have been a period of time where one parent doesn’t have contact with their child or children. Our aim is to demonstrate that contact with the absent parent can be positive, safe and effective. We deliver up to six supported and/or six supervised contact sessions, and then encourage families to continue contact in the community.

Based in a secure area of a central London court, Time Together consists of age appropriate rooms that have been decorated by children, and equipped with toys, books and games for children aged 0 – 16 years old.

Last year we successfully worked with 50 families and hosted over 200 sessions. Each session lasts up to 1 hour.

You can be referred to us by:

  • a magistrate or a Judge,
  • a local authority,
  • a solicitor or other organisation,
  • or you can contact us yourself directly.

Description of supervised and supported contact:

Supervised contact requires close supervision and observation of adult and child participants, to ensure safety and to provide reports for court. Staff must always be in sight and sound of a child.
Supported contact is the provision of a neutral venue where children and adults can spend time together without close supervision, and no reports are required. Staff are present to provide support as required.

Staff facilitate handovers for both supervised and supported contact, so that parents do not have to meet or cannot meet due to the terms of a court order.
