Contact Centre

We provide a safe and neutral environment in Portsmouth, Southampton and Aldershot, for children to see their non-resident family members. We are a child-focused neutral service, which puts the needs of the children first. Contact Centres can be useful as a facility for maintaining contact between the child and non–resident family member whilst a longer term solution is established.

• The Child Contact Centre is a place where children living with one parent can meet the parent they do not live with in a safe comfortable environment.
• Contact Workers incorporate the role of contact support workers where requested and the aim is to encourage a deeper relationship between the child and the contact parent by aiding communication around the child’s interests therefore reducing stress and conflict.
• The Child Contact Centre is run by a team of trained staff and volunteers whose primary role is to help parents make sure their child’s contact experience is positive.
• The most important people in the Child Contact Centre are the children.

We are an Accredited member of the National Association of Child Contact Centres.
