Dear Mr Russell
I am writing further to your email below.

I have contacted various offices within the Childrens Directorate of Dorset
County Council and we do not hold the information being requested. From my
own experience, I know that Contact Centres in Dorset are run by the
voluntary sector. We have no input into these Centres. My suggestion
would be for you to contact one of the Dorset CAFCASS offices who will
certainly have the information you seek as they are involved with these
Centres on a regular basis. A link to their website is as follows:

Freedom of Information request -
Childrens Contact Centres

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please supply a list of all Dorset 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
