Children's Contact Centre (CCC)

A child Contact Centre can help when there are safety considerations, or to                   

help trust and reliability to develop between parents and carers. We can help when parents or carers need time to agree alternative plans, or when relationships need support to develop, to benefit the child.

The service is for parents, carers or other family members who are no longer living with their children. We can arrange contact in a safe and secure environment, with a range of toys and games to enable contact to be a positive experience. 

Supervised Contact: Our service is for when there are more complex issues or concerns as to the safety of the children and or adults, we supervise the contact to ensure everybody is safe. Families are supervised on a one to one basis, and someone will always be in sight and sound of the children and will monitor conversation and provide assistance or intervention if necessary.

Staggered arrival and departure times are set so neither parent has to meet each other when attending the contact centre. Typed summaries of each session are provided to both parties, which they can choose to share the records with the Court or other professionals, such as Cafcass, solicitors, or social workers.
