For any State, the issues of ensuring the protection of the family and childhood are a priority. An important intermediary for ensuring the rights of minors, as well as conducting preventive work to prevent juvenile delinquency, is the Juvenile Affairs Unit. It is it that provides legal protection of minors on behalf of the State. Modern psychological theories justify the role of psychological contact in social interaction. However, their application in relation to the "inspector-parent" requires taking into account the specific socio-psychological context, as a rule, characterized by the reluctance and resistance of parents raising a minor child to build a trusting relationship with the inspector. When establishing interpersonal contact, juvenile inspectors face a difficult task: on the one hand, to implement punitive measures against young offenders or persons who have committed offenses against minors, on the other, in order to monitor families, to maintain long-term relationships with them. However, in order to carry out their official duties, contact between the inspector and the parents of teenagers is necessary. Based on the review and theoretical analysis of the literature, the article examines the specific features of establishing interpersonal contact between the inspector of juvenile affairs and the parents of adolescents. The issue of interaction between the "inspector-parent" from the position of "forced contacts" is also considered. The question of the formation of professional skills of inspectors of juvenile affairs is raised. Based on the existing scientific concepts in theory and taking into account the specific features of the interaction of the inspector of juvenile affairs with the parents of adolescents, an algorithm for establishing interpersonal contact in relation to the inspector-parent is developed.
