WHO WE ARE
The Familia Pathways Team are committed to helping families.
​
We recognise the importance of children having a safe and meaningful relationship with both of their parents and wider family members with whom they don't live. We provide services to assist families who are separated, separating or experiencing difficulties.
​
Our team are highly experienced, have up to date DBS certificates and our individual CVs are available on request.
​
Our reports are thorough and provide a neutrally obtained observation of parenting time. We have experience in guiding families on how parenting time can be improved for children, which has been proven to be particularly helpful in cases with high levels of hostility.
​
Our services are child focused and our aim is to ensure parenting time takes place as naturally as possible, even with our presence. We ensure we take the time to assess your families individual needs and provide a bespoke service.
