What is a Child Contact Centre?
A Child Contact Centre is a safe, friendly and neutral place where children of separated families can spend time with one or both parents, and sometimes other family members. It is a child-centred environment that puts the needs of the children first.

What is it like at a Child Contact Centre?
The most important people in the Child Contact Centre are the children.
We aim to create a warm, sociable atmosphere where you and your children can relax and enjoy yourselves. The Centre has an area with a variety of games, toys and books for children of all ages. Tea, coffee and other refreshments are provided. You may want to bring along some favourite toys, special drinks, or other things you might need such as nappies.
The Child Contact Centre is run by a coordinator and trained volunteers. They are impartial, so they do not take sides. They work to a strict confidentiality policy and have all been through a Criminal Records Bureau check.
