Dear Sir or Madam,

Please supply a list of all Kent Childrens Contact Centres.

Are these run privately or council controlled ?

Are these run for profit, if council controlled supply the
accounts?

What are the policies in place and who created these?

Is it correct that adults are expected to sign in , in pencil that
could easily be rubbed out?

How many children on a yearly basis do this centres cater for in
each area?

Many thanks for your help in this matter.

With regards

Mr Russell
