Supervised Access Ireland — Nationwide Child-Focused Supervised Access Services

Supervised Access Ireland has provided professional supervised access services in Ireland since 2007. Our practice is child-focused, safeguarding-led and grounded in careful professional observation.

During supervised access, SAI practitioners record what is seen, heard and directly observed. Where appropriate, this includes the child’s own words and observable presentation, helping to ensure that the Voice of the Child is clearly and accurately recorded.

Our practitioners receive role-specific training in supervised access, child safeguarding, professional boundaries, observation and factual reporting. Staff undertaking relevant work with children are Garda vetted in accordance with applicable requirements.

At Supervised Access Ireland, our mission is to support safer, structured, and child-focused contact between children and their families.

We provide supervised access, supported family contact, structured handovers, court-related reporting, reunification planning, and professional family support services across Ireland. Our work is grounded in child safeguarding, respectful communication, professional neutrality, and careful observation.

We understand that many families come to us during periods of stress, conflict, separation, or uncertainty. Our role is to provide a calm, reliable, and professionally managed service where children’s welfare, emotional safety, and voice remain central.

We work with parents, children, solicitors, social workers, and other professionals to support contact arrangements in a way that is transparent, respectful, and tailored to the needs of each family.

At Supervised Access Ireland, we are committed to providing a service that is practical, compassionate, and accountable — helping families move through difficult moments with structure, dignity, and care.
