When parents separate, visits for the child with the parent (or a relative) who doesn’t have custody may present difficulties. Access for Parents and Children in Ontario (APCO) supervises visits by non-custodial parents (or other relatives) and supervises exchanges; that is, when one parent (or caregiver) drops off a child and the other picks up the child. Supervised visits may reduce the stress a child experiences, by providing a neutral conflict-free atmosphere where parent and child can have constructive contact.
