Swedish term

umgängesstödsverksamhetens lägenhet

Swedish to English Law/Patents Law (general) access visits - child and father
A man has been granted court-ordered access to his child once a month for 5 hours each time It seems the mother takes the child to an apartment and picks him/her up afterwards.

[The mother] ska vid varje tillfälle se till att [barnet] lämnas och hämtas vid umgängesstödsverksamhetens lägenhet.

Is “umgängesstödsverksamheten” a company whose job it is to supervise or chaperone access visits, or something along those lines? If I know exactly what it is, I might be able to better express it in English. The sentence above appears in a Beslut by Eskilstuna Tingsrätt.

Many thanks,
David Connor

@ Chris I think you're probably thinking about prison visits and prison visiting rights:-)

@Chris These lawyers should know... https://www.coles-miller.co.uk/news/blog/how-to-enforce-your...

How much should we rely on Google?
Not quite 20 times as many hits for "Visitation" + "UK"

To me, visitation smacks of a seance. We call them visiting rights!
Daniel Löfström Feb 14, 2019:
This is indeed part of the social services offered by the city/municipality where the child lives. I can't give an English term off the cuff though. It means that the flat/apartment is owned/rented (and staffed) by the city/municipality.

visitation rights contact apartment

Kind of made up, but this is a fairly new concept here in Swe. This has to do with ensuring formal (and likely safe/monitored) facilities for court ordered exercise of visitation rights for a parent.

Some reading http://www.mfof.se/Documents/publikationer/kommunernas-arbet...

A little about how the Brits deal with this. http://www.separateddads.co.uk/howvisitationrightsworkforfat...

Do you have something like this in Australia?
Note from asker:
It seems to be called "supervised contact" in Australia https://www.gotocourt.com.au/family-law/supervised-contact/

Peer comment(s):

agree Deane Goltermann : Hmmm, not bad, nice reference, we agree on visitation, I like 'supervised' -- some combination of these would work well.
