The Chesterfield Child Contact Centre is based in Chesterfield in Derbyshire. We provide a meeting place for separated parents to meet with their children. We serve both the local and wider community.

The Centre is a safe, friendly and impartial place where children can meet with their parent (or other family members) with whom they no longer live with following their parents’ relationship breakdown.

Although there needs to be at least one parent with your child at all times while at the Contact Centre, volunteers can carry out handovers so you do not have to meet your ex-partner if you do not wish to.

Adult relationships can remain difficult after parents separate. Yet many children want, and need, to maintain a relationship with both parents and other relatives who are important to them.

Not all separated parents find it easy to achieve this. Trust may have broken down. Communications may have become difficult. If so, it may seem almost impossible to make arrangements for a child to spend quality time with the parent or relative they no longer live with.

This is where we can help

We won’t take sides. We simply aim to help you do what is in the best interests of your child.
