Earlier in the year at the Resolution Annual Conference, Mr Justice Coleridge referred to "the terrible shortage of contact centres" – an issue that is re-visited in an article in Resolution’s July 2008 Review.

The article by Judy Birchall, a manager with the National Association of Child Contact Centres urges Resolution members to abide by the protocol introduced in 2002 which provides guidance to Courts considering making an Order for contact which involves the use of a contact centre. Mention is made of the number of unrepresented parents requiring referrals to contact centres. Enquiries can be directed to the National Association of Child Contact Centres.
