520			_aThis thesis explores children's and their parents' views and experiences of supervised access. The study involved interviewing 11 children aged between 7 and 14 years who were attending supervised access centres. During the interviews, the children developed a story suitable for other children to read, which explained what happened during a visit to an access centre and how they felt about seeing their parent. The custodial parents were also interviewed about the child's past experiences that had lead to an access centre being used and concerns they had with supervised access. The research findings show that some of the children neither understood the role of the centre, nor why they had to visit with their parent there. However, most enjoyed their visits and wanted to maintain contact with the non-custodial parent. Overall, their preference was that this contact continues to take place at the centre. While the children felt safe at the centre, some custodial parents were concerned for their own safety when delivering children to, or collecting them from the centre. There were also concerns about the ability of the centres to adequately supervise parents who were sex offenders.--AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT
