Dursley and Cam Child Contact Centre
The Dursley & Cam Child Contact Centre is a place where children can enjoy contact with parents from whom they are separated. The Centre is fully accredited by the National Association of Child Contact Centre (NACCC) as a ‘supported’ Centre.
The Centre provides a safe, neutral place where children can enjoy time with the parent they do not live with. If parents do not wish to meet, this is respected and provided for with staggered arrival/departure times.
The Centre is managed by volunteers who offer a warm and friendly atmosphere with some toys and games available, they do not make observational records, only times and dates of attendance are recorded.
All families must apply and go through an interview process and subject to acceptability/agreements/space a place may be offered. Clients can self-refer or be referred by a professional or through a Court/Child Arrangement Order.
The purpose of the Centre is to enable the children to establish and maintain relationships with the parent they no longer live with and, for the parents to workout arrangements for their future shared care, to be able to move on from the Centre. A Contact Centre is a short term facility.
There is a £25 initial registration fee payable by the Referrer, there are no session fees – supported contact is a free service provided by volunteers.
The centre opens every other Saturday from 2pm – 4pm by pre-arrangement and is located in the Community Rooms at the Dursley Tabernacle United Reform Church.
