Child arrangements order

A child arrangements order (CAO) may determine where a child will live and with whom, and whether, how and when they will spend time with a parent or people including relatives other than those they normally live with.

If a child arrangements order is in place please include the details of the date the order was made and any notes regarding this.

Prohibited steps order

A prohibited steps order (PSO) is an order that forbids someone from exercising parental responsibility in a particular manner, e.g. forbidding a parent from: • removing the child from the UK; • changing the child’s name; or • changing the child’s school.

If a prohibited steps order is in place please include the details of the date the order was made and any notes regarding this.

If a specific issues order is in place please include the details of the date the order was made and any notes regarding this.

Non-molestation order

A non-molestation order (NMO) is typically issued to prohibit a person from using or threatening physical violence, intimidating, harassing, pestering, or communicating with the victim of these actions. An order could prevent the abuser coming within a certain distance of a person, or address. It could also include children in certain circumstances. An order will also prevent an abuser from instructing or encouraging others to do any of those actions.

If a non-molestation order is in place please include the details of the date the order was made and any notes regarding this.

About the service required

Please read the following before completing the next table.

Supported family time

A supported contact centre provides supported family time to keep children in touch with the parent that they no longer live with, if trust has broken down or communication is difficult. Parents do not have to meet, and several families use the facilities at the same time.

This is a form of family time where the level of risk is assessed to be lower than might be the case for supervised family time. It is also used to progress from supervised family time.

In supported family time, direct observations are not made, and no reports are written. Staff or volunteers will be present to ensure the comfort of those engaging in the service.

Supervised family time

Is there a potential risk of harm? A supervised contact centre provides supervised family time, and ensures the physical safety and emotional well-being of children in a one-to-one observed setting.

This is a form of family time where the level of risk is assessed to be higher risk than might be the case for supported family time, or if a family’s circumstances are more complex. These sessions will be supervised by staff who are experienced in this role.

Other (Please provide information about any other risks in the space below.)

If you have ticked yes to any of the concerns listed above, please provide additional information.

Family time is usually a short-term arrangement. How do you feel about using this service? Do you have any ideas about how and / or when your family might be ready to move on from the service?
