Promotion of Health Relationship Between Children and their Families & Friends.
We actively support safe, meaningful contact between children and their families or significant others where it is in the child’s best interests and consistent with their care plan. Our approach recognises the importance of maintaining secure, healthy relationships while safeguarding the child’s emotional and physical well-being.
Our approach includes:
- Individualised contact plans, developed in agreement with the placing authority, clearly outlining the type, frequency, location, and supervision level of contact.
- Support for various forms of contact, including face-to-face visits, telephone or video calls, written communication, and online platforms—using private or supervised spaces as appropriate.
- Regular review of contact arrangements, taking into account the child’s views, emotional readiness, and any changing circumstances.
- Encouragement of appropriate peer contact and friendships based on individual risk assessments and placement plans.
- Facilitation of contact during special occasions, such as birthdays, holidays, or key school events, to maintain connection and continuity.
Children are encouraged and supported to share their feelings and preferences around contact. Staff work sensitively and collaboratively with families and professionals to make arrangements that promote emotional well-being, reflect the child’s needs, and preserve important relationships in a safe and considerate way.
