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; child-centred environments that provide toys, games and facilities that reflect the diverse needs of children affected by family breakdown.

We have facilities for children from birth to 16 years of age, including age appropriate toys, games, activities. Our Carrickfergus Centre is based in a bespoke facility; our Larne Centre is located in a local community centre.

Our emphasis is very much on providing a welcoming environment where children and separated family members may enjoy quality, interactive time together. 

We provide supported contact sessions, where experienced, trained staff and volunteers are available to support families. We do NOT supervise contact sessions, or provide reports to referrers or other parties.

We do NOT provide advice or guidance to families - we are entirely neutral. 

Carrickfergus and Larne Child Contact Centre makes no charge to referrers or families using our facilities
