SUMMARY HYPOTHESIS A tool to help co-ordinate contact will: - Reduce the time required by case workers to co-ordinate contact sessions. - Reduce the number of parents who don t show up for contact visits. - Enable parents to be prepared for the role they will play. - Enable carers to keep track of planned contact events. - Reduce the time required by contact workers / drivers. - Enable all participants to contribute to the purpose of contact visits. CARER Caseworkers should speak to carers first about potential visit times, to make sure consideration is given to the other kids already in their care. NGO CONTACT WORKER We need to have access to venues that are safe comfortable and well resourced. INSIGHTS Caseworkers can take a long time to co-ordinate contact visits with carers across multiple agencies. Carers need to strike a balance between their own life events and the contact arrangements made for the child(ren) they are caring for. CASEWORKER Current casework can be confusing with joint decision making - information can get lost between workers and agencies Parents are often struggling to make it to contact visits on time, as they are busy with other appointments. Caseworkers sometimes don t know about the children who are participating in contact, such as their allergens, behaviors, triggers, etc. Contact workers / drivers don t know about the children who are participating in contact, especially if they have changed regions (within a state), states, or moved between agencies. NGO CASEWORKER If no caseworker is allocated to the visit, there can be miscommunication and no one is on the right page. Caseworkers are often dealing with co-ordinating contact between large families and subsequently their larger sibling groups. Parents may not engage in contact because they feel unprepared. Children often don t know which of their siblings / parents are attending contact. Caseworkers are often dealing with birth parents, grandparents, or relatives being in different geographic locations. Parents are nervous about contact events. Contact workers / drivers experence a communication lag, especially when parents circumstances change. NGO CONTACT WORKER Organising contact is massive. If you don t put in the effort, it s not going to work. PARENT I m normally told that a contact visit has been cancelled, only after I ve arrived 4 Contact Management
