Contact Denied, Evidence & Action Pack, A Practical Workbook for Parents When Contact Stops
Contact Denied, Evidence & Action Pack, A Practical Workbook for Parents When Contact Stops
When contact with your child suddenly stops, is reduced, becomes inconsistent, or starts being disputed, it can be incredibly difficult to know what to do next.
You may feel angry, frightened, confused, or desperate to act quickly.
But in these situations, one of the most important things you can do is stay calm, keep your communication child focused, and start building a clear, factual record of what is happening.
The In Your Corner Contact Denied, Evidence & Action Pack has been created to help you do exactly that.
This is a practical 25 page digital workbook designed for parents dealing with stopped, restricted, reduced or disputed contact.
It is not just an information guide.
It is a working pack you can use to record events, organise evidence, prepare your next steps, understand the court routes that may apply, and approach the situation in a more structured and child focused way.
Inside the pack, you will find clear guidance, practical worksheets, logs, checklists and preparation tools covering key issues such as:
• what to do in the first 48 hours after contact stops
• what to avoid doing when emotions are running high
• how to communicate in a calm, child focused way
• what changes if there is already a Child Arrangements Order in place
• how to record missed contact and changes to arrangements
• how to keep a clear communication log
• how to build a chronology of events
• how to organise messages, emails and other evidence
• how to identify the key issues in dispute
• how to think about the impact on the child
• how to prepare for Cafcass involvement
• what to consider if a child is resisting or refusing contact
• how domestic abuse and safeguarding concerns may affect the situation
• when urgent action may be needed
• how to prepare for a C100 application
• how to prepare for a C79 enforcement application where there is already an order
• how to prepare for a hearing
• how to think about realistic, child focused proposals
• how to keep track of court orders and deadlines
• what practical steps to take over the next 14 days
The pack is designed to help you move away from panic and towards a clear plan.
Instead of relying on memory, scattered screenshots or emotional messages, you can use the workbook to create a more organised record of what has happened and what you have done to try to resolve things.
That can help you explain your situation more clearly to professionals, Cafcass, a solicitor, an advocate or the court.
It is especially useful if you are:
• a parent whose contact has suddenly stopped
• dealing with repeated cancellations or missed contact
• worried that communication with the other parent is breaking down
• unsure whether to apply to court
• already involved in Family Court proceedings
• trying to enforce an existing Child Arrangements Order
• preparing to speak to Cafcass
• gathering evidence before seeking legal advice
• representing yourself as a litigant in person
• supporting someone who is dealing with disputed contact
What you will receive
• 25 page digital PDF workbook
• evidence recording tools
• contact logs
• communication logs
• chronology planning pages
• checklists
• court preparation tools
• C100 preparation guidance
• C79 enforcement preparation guidance
• Cafcass preparation sections
• child focused planning worksheets
• practical next step planning

The workbook has been designed in the In Your Corner teal, salmon and cream branding, with a clear, professional layout that can be used digitally or printed at home.
Why this pack is different
When contact breaks down, it is very easy for communication to become emotional and for important details to be lost.
This pack helps you slow things down, separate facts from feelings, keep a clear record, and focus on what is most relevant to the child and the court.
It is designed to help you feel more prepared, more organised and more confident about what to do next.
Important information
This resource provides general information, practical guidance and preparation tools only.
It does not provide individual legal advice and does not replace advice from a solicitor or other appropriately regulated legal professional where this is required.
Family Court cases are fact specific, and the correct legal route will depend on your individual circumstances.
If there are immediate safeguarding concerns, domestic abuse, threats, risk of harm or concerns that a child or adult is in immediate danger, you should seek urgent professional assistance.
Court procedures, forms, fees and guidance can also change, so users should check the most up to date official information where necessary.
