What is Virtual Family Time?
Virtual Family Time lets you spend time with your child online using Zoom if you cannot meet in person or want extra contact between in‑person sessions. You don’t need to be tech‑savvy, we can provide full instructions, troubleshooting help, and can even offer a trial session first to make it easy.
Who is it for?
Virtual Family Time can be used:
-
When visiting in person isn’t possible or practical.
-
For older children or young people after a period apart.
-
Alongside in‑person sessions when the non‑resident parent lives far away.
It works for both Supported and Supervised Family Time.
Virtual family time can take place within each family’s home, meaning there is no need to travel to the centre unless this is required or preferred.
How is it kept safe?
If any safeguarding concerns arise, the Family Time Supervisor can place someone in the virtual waiting room or end the call.
All interactions are closely monitored by a Family Time team member.
When are virtual sessions available?
Virtual Family Time is available fortnightly on Saturdays: 10am - 12pm
How much does it cost?
Usually, the parent who doesn’t live with the child pays, unless you agree otherwise.
