Venue Full Day Sessions
A Venue Full Day Session gives your family exclusive use of one of our contact centres for an extended period, allowing a full day of quality time in a private, comfortable and neutral setting. It is ideal where shorter sessions are not enough to sustain and develop a child's relationship with a parent.
What the service is
We provide a dedicated venue for a full day, staffed and set up for your family alone. Depending on the level of support agreed, the day can be supported or supervised, and can be arranged as a one-off or as part of an ongoing arrangement.
As a NACCC enhanced accredited organisation focused exclusively on contact services, we hold every session to the same professional standard across all of our centres.
How it works
- We agree the venue, date and level of support with all parties following your referral.
- The centre is reserved for your family for the full day.
- Arrivals and departures are staggered so parties do not need to meet.
- Where supervision is agreed, trained staff remain present throughout and record the session as required.
- A written report can be provided to referrers where relevant.
Why it helps families
A longer, unhurried day allows children to settle, share meals, play and reconnect in a way that brief visits cannot. It gives parents the time and space to rebuild a natural relationship, at a pace that works for whatever the family now looks like.
When it is used
Full day sessions are often suitable when:
- A parent lives at a distance and travel makes short visits impractical.
- Contact is being re-established after a significant gap.
- A court, solicitor or local authority has recommended extended supervised or supported time.
- A family is progressing towards less structured arrangements.
No waiting list
We never operate a waiting list. Provided both parties engage, we can have a service in place within seven days — not the six to nine months families often face elsewhere.
