Supervised Transportation
What is a Supervised
Transportation
Supervised child transportation is a service where a trained staff member safely transports a child to and from visits, changeovers, or other agreed-upon locations.
This service is ideal for families where parents are unable to manage transport themselves or where it is not safe or appropriate for parents to have contact. Our focus is on the child’s comfort, safety, and emotional wellbeing throughout the journey, ensuring they arrive calmly and securely. It also helps maintain consistency and reduce stress for both the child and their family.
What happens during a
Supervised
Transportation?
During supervised transportation, a trained staff member collects the child and escorts them safely to the scheduled visit or changeover location. All vehicles used are fully insured, clean, and child-safe, with appropriate restraints for all ages. To make the journey more comfortable, we provide age-appropriate books and toys to help children feel relaxed and at ease. Our team ensures the trip is calm, timely, and focused on the child’s safety and wellbeing at every step.
Child Familiarisation Session
A child familiarisation session is an optional step we offer before beginning services such as supervised visits, changeovers, transport, or respite care. During this session, a Family Konnect Contact Supervisor visits the child in their home environment to gently introduce themselves and begin forming a connection. Meeting the supervisor in a familiar and safe setting helps the child feel more at ease, reducing anxiety and creating a sense of trust before any formal service begins. This early introduction supports a smoother and more positive experience during future contact, as the child is more likely to feel comfortable and secure knowing who will be accompanying or supervising them. Familiarisation sessions are especially valuable for younger children or those who may be experiencing contact supervision for the first time.
