From our Chichester base we offer the following services, including but not limited to:
If you are unsure which service fits your circumstances, we are happy to talk it through.
Supported Contact
Contact sessions where a worker is present on-site to offer reassurance and assistance, without active monitoring or intervention in the session itself.
Supervised Contact
Fully supervised sessions where a trained worker observes and documents all contact between a child and a parent, used where safeguarding considerations require closer oversight.
Public Law Supervised Contact
Supervised contact delivered within care proceedings, meeting the requirements of local authorities and the court for rigorous, evidenced observation and reporting.
Letterbox Service
A managed indirect contact service enabling the exchange of letters, cards, or photographs between a child and a non-resident parent or family member, with all correspondence reviewed before forwarding.
Why families and referrers choose us
Contact services are our sole focus — not a sideline. We hold NACCC enhanced accreditation and work across multiple counties in southern England.
Most importantly, we operate no waiting list. As long as both parties engage, we can put a service in place within seven days, rather than the six-to-nine-month waits common elsewhere.
We work realistically with families as they are now, helping children maintain relationships with the people who matter to them. Our team is professional, child-focused, and grounded in the practical reality of family arrangements.
