Court Ordered Child Contact

We are here to provide support with navigating the Court Ordered Child Contact system.

We know this might be a worrying time for you. You may be feeling concerned for your safety and that of your child. You might be worrying about having to go to court, and how you can access help. We are here to help you understand.

We have a peer support group for survivors going through the system - we know that women experienced in the process are the best experts. Call our Helpline or email [email protected] for more information or to discuss joining the group.

We also have a guidance booklet that was written by Glasgow Women’s Aid workers, and women in our services who have experienced court-ordered contact. This document is not to replace or give legal advice, however it does have a lot of legal terminology and references, so we also had a solicitor fact check what has been written. There is also an explanation of some legal terms at the end of the book which may help.

Information for Women

Glasgow Women's Aid works from a feminist perspective which acknowledges that the root cause of the abuse of women and children is the imbalance of power which exists within our society and allows some people to have more power than others.

The development of our service provision over the last 40 plus years has been guided by the women, children, and young people that we have supported. They are our inspiration.
