Cost of contact centres

Court is finally over and the courts, cafcass and father have agreed to him having supervised contact for one hour a month, for 6 months, moving to fortnight for two hours. The only issue we are having is who is going to pay. Initially was told that I wouldn't have to pay towards this as the father created the issue that has meant contact needs to be in a contact center, but I'm aware he doesn't currently work, and is in and out of jobs constantly.

I've been trying to look at pricing to see if I can at least help contribute for our sons sake, but the most I can find is the referrals fees of anywhere from £25- £75 for 6 months.

Could anyone give me any average figures for sessions?

TIA

Hi. I can help with this.
I've been court ordered to split the cost of contact with my daughters father. He's coming up to his second year of supervised contact in a contact centre now, we've been through several contact centre.
The one we're in now charged us a £60 non refundable referral fee split between us, in addition the cost of a 2 hour session is £190, this includes a report at the end of it. My daughters father has fortnightly contact.
Its a huge expense, it really is.
I would get it finalised in the court order that he is the primary payer but you can afford to contribute X amount towards contact. I was unfortunate and had a really horrible judge who ordered that both parents split the cost.
