Putting Children First
This year’s National Child Contact Centre Week, coordinated by the National Association of Child Contact Centres (NACCC) and its members, takes place from 15 – 21 June 2026.
This important week aims to raise awareness of NACCC-accredited child contact centres and services across the UK – highlighting the vital role they play in helping children and young people stay safely connected with family members they no longer live with following divorce or family separation.
This year’s campaign theme is Putting Children First – focusing on the importance of listening to children, understanding their experiences and ensuring their emotional wellbeing remains at the heart of decision-making throughout. During the week, NACCC-accredited centres from across the UK will be using social media to raise awareness of the support available for separated families, and highlight the positive impact child-centred family time can have on children and young people.
Social Media Campaign
Join us in celebrating the vital role child contact centres play in supporting separated families across the UK.

Our logo
National Child Contact Centre Week was launched in June 2025. As part of our preparations for launching this new initiative, we invited children and young people from across our member centres to take part in an artwork competition to design the official campaign logo – with the winning entry also receiving a £25 Amazon Gift Voucher.
The winning design was created by Abyaz, aged just 10 years at the time, and who attended Unique Contact and Community Service (UCCS) in Stratford, London.
Abyaz’s colourful and imaginative design beautifully captured the themes of love, connection, and growth—symbolised through a heart-rooted tree of hearts and family figures united by a shared heart. His artwork reflects the nurturing environment our Child Contact Centres create for families across the country, and we’re proud to feature it as the official logo for National Child Contact Centre Week.
Let’s Celebrate Together
This campaign is all about raising awareness, building understanding, and showcasing the difference contact centres make every day.
Whether you’re a contact centre, a professional, a parent, or simply someone who believes in the power of family time – we hope you’ll join us in celebrating the work of Child Contact Centres.

Throughout the week, NACCC will be sharing helpful resources.
