Child-handovers between separated families can be challenging - emotionally and logistically.
With KindSteps Handovers, parents and carers do not need to meet face-to-face.
Our trained facilitators manage calm, respectful and neutral child-handovers at safe, public community locations in the RM1 Romford area, promoting a stress-free experience for everyone—especially the children.
This service is ideal for...
Parents/caregivers, family members, or foster carers who prefer not to have direct contact with the other party, as long as there are no safeguarding concerns that would prevent the child from spending time with them.
