  87               : As part of the placement planning process, the social worker should consult the Home's manager
                   to ensure that proper arrangements are in place for the child to have contact with his/her
                   family and significant others; particularly when the child is placed at a distance away from
                   their family home. No contact may be permitted between children and their parents, friends or
                   relatives (which include grandparents and half siblings) without the approval of the Social
                   Worker, and must be consistent with arrangements outlined in the Child's Care Plan.
  87             </p>
  88             <p>
  88               For many children, relationships with members of their family, previous carers, friends and
                   others are incredibly important. Contact can help children and young people develop their sense
                   of identity and better understand their lives, as well as helping to support successful
                   placements.
  88             </p>
  89             <p>
  89               One of the key principles of the Children Act 1989 is the presumption that there should be
                   continued contact between the child and their family while the child is in the care of the local
                   authority (unless it is not reasonably practicable or consistent with the child's welfare). The
                   responsible authority has a duty to endeavour to promote contact between the child and:

  93                 Any relative, friend or other person connected with the child.

  94             </ul>
  95             <p>
  95               Contact arrangements should be focused on, and shaped around, the child's needs. The social
                   worker should, as part of the assessment process, identify those people who the child wants to
                   maintain contact with.

  97               It may be useful to encourage young people to share details of how they communicate with others
                   (this may include mobile phones or other social networking sites and apps and consoles such as
                   Xbox or Play Station) and an agreement reached between the young person, social worker and staff
                   about how safely to do this.
  97             </p>
  98             <p>
  98               So far as it is reasonably practicable, the wishes and feelings of the parents and the
                   child's carers must be ascertained before a decision about contact arrangements is made.
  98             </p>
  99             <p>
  99               The purpose of the contact and how it will be evaluated must be made clear in the Plan. Contact
                   arrangements should be focused on, and shaped around, the child's needs. The child's welfare is
                   the paramount consideration at all times and each child's wishes and needs for contact should be
                   individually considered and regularly assessed and reviewed. The wishes and feelings of the
                   child should be ascertained, wherever possible, using advocacy and communication services if
                   necessary.
  99             </p>
 100             <p>
 100               Both direct and indirect contact arrangements should always be clearly detailed setting out how
                   contact will take place, the venue, the frequency and how the arrangements will be evaluated and
                   reviewed. The use of mobile communication should also be considered.

                   together should be prioritised. Independent Reviewing Officers should ensure that Looked After
                   Reviews consider whether contact arrangements including sibling contact in Care Plans has been
                   implemented and that the child is happy with the contact – both its frequency and its quality.
                   The IRO should inform the child that they can access Advocacy Services if they have a complaint.

 104               Face to face meetings and visits will generally be the best way of maintaining relationships,
                   but other means such as letters, phone calls, photograph exchanges etc. should be borne in mind.
                   Responsible authorities and carers should work together to explore how electronic media can
                   support positive relationships for children. Children should be supported to ensure they are
                   safe online rather than this form of contact being avoided.

 108             <p>
 108               The need to supervise contact should be considered as part of the assessment and planning
                   process by the social worker and his/her Manager. It is the responsibility of the child's social
                   worker to ensure that the person(s) supervising contact is appropriately skilled and experienced
                   to do so.
 108             </p>
 109             <p>
 109               The primary focus of the assessment of this issue will be the safety and welfare of the child.
 109             </p>
 110             <p>
 110               Where supervised contact is deemed necessary, the reasons should be clearly recorded and the
                   role of the supervisor or supervisors clearly defined.
 110             </p>
 111             <p>
 111               A written risk assessment must be completed before supervised contacts begin.
 111             </p>
 112             <p>
 112               This assessment must take account of all factors that could impact on the success of supervised
                   contact and relevant safeguards including:
 112             </p>
 113             <ol>
 114               <li type="a">

 115               <li type="a">
 115                 Previous threats to disrupt contact or failure to cooperate with conditions agreed for
                     supervised contact;

 116               <li type="a">

 118                 The transient or unsettled lifestyle of the parents;

 121             <p>
 121               Where any of the above features in the risk assessment, and supervised contact is to continue,
                   the risk assessment must state the specific measures to be put in place to minimise risks. The
                   assessment must then be approved and signed by the appropriate Team Manager.
 121             </p>
 122             <p>
 122               Where supervised contact takes place, the detailed arrangements for the supervision must be set
                   out in the Placement Plan/Contact Plan.
 122             </p>
 123             <p>
 123               In addition, there should be a written agreement with the parents and other relevant parties
                   having supervised contact, signed by them, which should state clearly any specific conditions
                   relating to the contact and any expectations placed on the parents or relevant parties:
 123             </p>
 124             <ul>
 125               <li>
 125                 The agreement should be clear about where the contact must take place and whether any
                     flexibility is allowed for activity or movements within or away from the agreed location;
 125               </li>
 126               <li>
 126                 It should also be clear about whether the person(s) having contact are permitted to give the
                     child food, drinks, gifts or money during contact;
 126               </li>
 127               <li>
 127                 It should state clearly the circumstances in which contact will be terminated.
 127               </li>
 128             </ul>
 129             <p>
 129               The agreement should state the adults who will be allowed to attend for supervised contact and
                   supervisors should be asked to apply that strictly.
 129             </p>
 130             <p>
 130               Particular attention should be given to when and how visits are ended. It may be more
                   appropriate that all &quot;goodbyes&quot; take place indoors with the visitors asked to leave
                   before supervisors return children to their placements or carers.
 130             </p>
 131             <p>
 131               Significant changes to Care Plans, court proceedings and/or decisions made about the frequency
                   of future contact are all likely to be potential tension points so extra vigilance should apply
                   at any contacts arranged around these times.
 131             </p>
 132             <p>
 132               The staff/carers and any other person involved in the supervision of the contact should have
                   copies of the Placement Plan and the agreement with the parents or relevant adults.
 132             </p>
 133             <p>
 133               Where possible, those supervising the contact should be known to the child and the family before
                   the supervised contact takes place.
 133             </p>
 134             <p>
 134               In the event of problems emerging, the supervisors must be clear who to contact and what details
                   they will need to share.
 134             </p>
 135             <p>
 135               The supervisor's observations of the contact must be clearly recorded in the child's record and
                   shared with the parents.
 135             </p>
 136             <p>
 136               The supervisor must immediately report to the social worker any concerns about the child or
                   parents' conduct during the contact. The social worker in consultation with his/her Manager
                   should consider the need to review the risk assessment and/or the contact arrangements in light
                   of the concerns expressed.

 140             <p>
 140               The social worker and his/her Manager should keep contact arrangements, including the continuing
                   need for supervision, under regular review.
 140             </p>
 141             <p>
 141               The risk assessment in relation to the arrangements for supervising contact must be reviewed at
                   least every six months, or sooner if any incident or report identifies concerns.
 141             </p>
 142             <p>
 142               Where the child is the subject of a Child Protection Plan, the contact arrangements should also
                   be reviewed as required in the Child Protection Plan.

 143             <p>
 143               Any significant reactions that the child has to contact should be reported to the child's social

                   and/or supervisors of contact.

 144             <p>

 148               Contact should never be cancelled unless there is a very good reason, e.g. it is deemed that it
                   would not be safe for it to take place or the child/ adult/sibling attending is too unwell for
                   it to take place. Contact should take place in accordance with the child's Placement Plan, Court
                   Order and any Court Directions.
 148             </p>
 149             <p>
 149               Wherever possible, the staff/carer should consult the child's social worker in advance if they

 150             <p>
 150               If contact is cancelled, the social worker or, if the social worker is not available, the
                   staff/carer must ensure that the child and, as far as practicable, the parent or relevant adult
                   is informed in advance and that the reason for the decision is explained. The social worker or
                   staff/carer should arrange an alternative contact.

 151               If contact does not take place and consultation has not been possible with the social worker,
                   the staff/carer must inform the child's social worker as soon as possible and confirm in writing
                   the decision to cancel and the reason.
 151             </p>
 152             <p>

 153               Emergency restrictions on contact can only be made to protect the child from significant risk
