Allow a parent to have children supervised visits in a contact centre.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

The government need to change the children social services system after a separation or accusation occurs between parents and no harm was done to a child and no accusations were brought up against the child supervised visits at contact centres should be offered from week one of separation.
One parent always suffers more then the other legal costs and a solicitor involvement should not be first priority from a children social worker when a supervised visit is done by a volunteer and conducted inside a council building why should a parent wait many months for solicitors in legal team to respond and a parent miss their son/ daughters first steps if a parent has contacted social services and told “no mediation is to offer the only way is to pay a solicitor” this is not fair.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about child contact arrangements in the event of relationship breakdown are a matter for the parents and courts, not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.
