Contact Centre - Support for children & their families______
Excel Contact Centre provides 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.
Refferals
Visits are by referral. The referral can be made by a social worker, solicitor, family mediator, CAFCASS officer (formerly known as a court family welfare officer), by a court order or by self refferal. The person making the referral fills out a referral form and sends it to the Centre Co-ordinator. How often you come to the Centre depends on you and when the Centre is open.
