About Our Service

Armagh Child Contact Centre in Armagh City is a neutral meeting place where children of separated families may enjoy contact with one or both parents and sometimes other family members, in a comfortable and safe environment.

When parents separate, it can be difficult for them to see each other. This can make arranging contact with their children difficult. Child Contact Centres provide a safe, friendly and neutral place where children can spend time with the parent they're not living with, and sometimes other family members.

Our service is child-centered, meaning we put the needs and wellbeing of children first in everything we do.
