Great news!

We are delighted to announce that a new version of the Judicial Protocol has been launched, endorsed by Sir Andrew McFarlane, President of the Family Division. The Judicial Protocol is a vital resource for judges and magistrates making orders referring families to accredited child contact services and has been regularly updated over the last 23 years.

Introducing the protocol Sir Andrew says: “I urge Magistrates and Judges to ensure they refer families only to accredited centres so that every child whose circumstances necessitate the use of child contact centres or services, will benefit from the same high level of care and safeguarding.”

The protocol has traditionally focused on referrals to supported contact centres, but this new version contains information on supervised family time, virtual contact, and some helpful pro-forma orders.

The contact centre runs on the first and third Saturday of each month, 2pm-4pm, and there is no charge.

We have vacancies for supported contact, and receive self referrals as well as through professionals.

We also need volunteers for the child contact centre. We ask for a commitment of 2 Saturday sessions in a three month period. Contact me for an Application form and DBS check. [email protected] or 01784 471110.

Volunteers set up toys and activities, greet children on arrival, and help families engage in play if needed.
