There are 2 types of child contact services; supported and supervised. King's Lynn Child Contact Centre is a 'Supported' Contact Centre where the role of the Staff and volunteers is to assist parents and to help create a nice comfortable atmosphere.

The centre is accredited by the NACCC (National Association of Contact Centres). This is recognised by CAFCASS (Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service) and the judiciary as the standard required, ensuring the needs of children and families come first. The centre is run by volunteers all of whom have received appropriate training and are DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked, thus ensuring the safety of your child(ren).

We ask for an initial ‘visiting family member’ Referral Fee of £50 (for 6 months). The parent with residence is also asked to make a donation.

If the parties do not wish to meet, the visiting parent must arrive 10-15 minutes before the escorting parent and child. At the end of the session the visiting parent must stay behind for 10 -15 minutes after the session has ended.

If you can’t attend an appointment please let the Senior co-ordinator know as soon as you can to avoid any wasted journeys. Please also let your partner know, if you can, or tell us in good time so that we pass on the information.

As few as possible. However, the Centre is used by several families at the same time so we have to ensure the safety of everyone and give consideration for others. The Contact Centre rules are contained within the Information For Parents document.
