About us

The ReConnect service is an award winning county-wide team in Buckinghamshire, who are trained to work with parents who are pregnant or children age 0-2 years that are subject to child protection plans.

We are passionate about improving outcomes for babies and children’s emotional and mental health, as well as reducing concerns and safeguarding risks.

We work with parents to build a therapeutic alliance, to help parents understand themselves better and helping them to understand how past or current relationships have been harmful.

We will safely explore these and make a plan together for how to work through them.
