The Northern Ireland Network of Child Contact Centres is an umbrella organisation, supporting those groups, or individuals, who wish to work together to provide Child Contact Centres. The Network provides a framework to share best practice, campaign on child contact issues, publicise and provide educational material regarding child contact. The first Northern Ireland Child Contact Centres were opened in 1998 and today there are 10 centres (with contact sessions in 15 locations) throughout the province that work on a weekly basis (midweek and Saturdays). We currently have 2 new centres being set up.
All the centres rely on committed, skilled and trained volunteers who are fully vetted as suitable to work with children and families.
