Mediated visits, with the necessary presence and protection afforded by a professional third party, provide opportunities to re-establish contact between a child who is covered by a measure for legal protection and his or her parents where the latter’s authority has been subjected to restrictions due to the threat they may be deemed to pose to the child’s well-being. Such measures, as ordered by a magistrate, seek to maintain relations between child and parent(s) as essential to the child’s psychological development, while also opening out opportunities to gain insights into the quality of the parental bonds and capabilities and helping to support both parties in coming to terms with the issues surrounding the measure of protection. The author stresses the importance of mediatisation by the professional third party in working towards a positive outcome.
