<p>The Government is not responsible for funding the child contact centre sector.
However, the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (Cafcass) provides
small value annual grants to supported child contact centres run by the voluntary
sector, where such centres seek financial assistance. This funding not only helps
such centres to remain viable but may be used to develop the quality of provision
offered.</p><p> </p><p>The overall level of funding available to supported child centres
is dependent on demand but has remained broadly stable since 2014/15. For 2018/19,
individual grants are available up to an initial limit of £2,500 which can be increased
to £3,000 where appropriate.</p>
