Neath Port Talbot Council for Voluntary Service

What are the Independent Visiting Schemes?

Neath Port Talbot Council for Voluntary Service provides Independent Visiting Schemes on behalf of Neath Port Talbot Social Services Department and Hillside Secure Children’s Centre.

The schemes are for those children and young people, living in care or detained, who have little or no contact with their parents.

Independent Visitors provide support and a listening ear for the children and young people they are linked with. The role also aims to ensure that the best interests of the child or young person are promoted at all times.

For further information about the scheme, and how to get involved, please contact the Volunteer Centre on 01639 631387.
