We provide a safe and neutral environment for non-custodial parents to spend time with their children where supervision is required. These visits may involve various family members including parents, siblings, or grandparents visiting the children while they are in care. We provide a child-safe environment and an independent and neutral service overseen by trained supervisors so that children can continue to form healthy relationships with family members.
Visits can be on-site, off-site or changeovers.
The Centre at our Manurewa site is available between 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Wednesday thru Sunday. |
