Are there any rules?
We try to have as few rules as possible. However as the Contact Centre is used by several families at the same time, consideration for the comfort and safety of all users is important. Please see our policy page for more information.
How are arrangements made?
Referrals can be made through a solicitor, CAFCASS officer, social worker or family mediator. Self referrals can also be made. Once a referral form has been completed arrangements are made for both parents to attend the centre on separate occasions for a pre-visit meeting. Pre-visits are essential as we need to understand your concerns and expectations. It is also an opportunity for you and the children to be made familiar with the centre and to get to know us.
