Other options from a contact centre

[boyse4]

Im wondering if anybody has any advice or experience in this, if somebody doesn't want to see their children through a contact centre, are there professionals you can hire to attend where you're meeting (soft play etc) and sit to one side and just observe?

I'm not meaning for free, I imagine you would have to pay for this if there is no social services etc involved.

Sometimes contact can be arranged under the supervision of a ‘neutral’ family member, at their home.

I suppose it depends on how much you trust other people to do their job, paid or unpaid, correctly.
With my ex husband (my son’s biological dad), I frankly do not trust anyone to supervise him with my son so therefore social services have recommended that we stop contact entirely.

Oh, and though I have blocked my ex husband on everything, he has other means of communicating with me (through my family, even friends if needs be) but he’s genuinely not bothered since I stopped contact 18 months ago.
