About Bishop's Stortford Child Contact Centre
We are a community based, not for profit, child-focused charity that supports families directly impacted by separation or divorce. We believe that every child has a right to build a relationship with both parents and other family members when families live apart. Their wellbeing – now and for their futures is at the heart of what we do.
We currently offer supported contact and are soon to introduce supervised contact between the child and the parent/family member they don’t usually live with in a safe, neutral, family orientated space.
We are open to enquiries and referrals from parents themselves and from professionals and the courts and are accredited by The National Association of Child Contact Centres (NACCC)
