Independent Visitors are matched with a child in care based on location, age, and interests. Visits happen every 3–4 weeks, building a unique, trusted relationship over 2 years.
Plan fun activities like meals out, cinema trips, or park visits—always led by the child’s preferences. After each visit, share feedback and report any safeguarding concerns.
