At Better at Home, we can assist with supervised access services. We also offer support with services such as respite for parents/carers of children as well as school transportation. Better at Home supports access by taking a non-bias approach, with the goal of ensuring that supervised visits are beneficial for the young person, parents, and/or relatives involved.
All our staff members undergo full Garda vetting, are insured, reference checked, and operate under Better at Home's governance structure.

Supervised access is a vital service that provides a safe and structured environment for children to maintain relationships with their non-custodial parent or other family members under the supervision of trained professionals. This service is typically utilised in situations where there are concerns about the safety or well-being of the child during unsupervised visits.
The primary goal of supervised access is to ensure the physical and emotional safety of the child while facilitating meaningful interactions with their family members. Trained supervisors oversee the visits, monitoring interactions and intervening if necessary to address any issues that may arise. They also provide support and guidance to both the child and the visiting parent to promote positive interactions and effective communication.

Supervised access can play a crucial role in the reunification process for families who have experienced separation or conflict. It allows children to maintain connections with their non- custodial parent while providing a structured environment for rebuilding trust and repairing relationships. Additionally, supervised access can help to alleviate any concerns or anxieties that the custodial parent may have about the child’s well-being during visits.
Overall, supervised access serves as a valuable resource for families navigating complex custody arrangements or dealing with challenging family dynamics. By prioritising the safety and welfare of the child, supervised access facilitates healthy relationships and supports the overall well-being of the family unit.
