Supervised Access
Here at Empowerment Plus we support access by providing a non-judgemental approach, with the aim of ensuring supervised visits are positive for young people, parents and/or relatives involved.
EPLUS staff can support access by
- Assisting in the co-ordination of access
- Transporting young people or family members to and from access
- Encouraging appropriate interactions
- Providing art activities or supporting play
- Modelling behaviours and/or provide parenting support when required
- Communicating with parents and offering feedback
- Redirecting inappropriate conversations or if necessary, ceasing access if in the best interest of the child
- Observing access and documenting reports for TUSLA
- Providing court reports or giving evidence where necessary
