Referral Process

• Referrals for supported contact can be received by Solicitors or by self-referrals. (If you are self-referring then both parties would need to complete their own referral).
• Once the referral is received by the Centre Manager at NRS Child Contact Centre, a desktop risk assessment is completed
• Parents will be invited to attend the office or the pre-visit meeting may be completed virtually either by Zoom or Microsoft Teams. These meetings always take place separately.
• The Centre Manager will ask a series of questions to enable her to make a full judgement on the case and enable NRSCC to complete their own risk assessment.
• Once both meetings have been completed, contact can then be scheduled.
• Parties will be asked to arrive at staggered times
• NRSCC will check on the progress of contact, but there will not be written reports unless there is a specific safeguarding or health incident.
