The National Association of Child Contact Centres (NACCC) was founded in Nottingham in 1991 with the establishment of the first Child Contact Centre. It is a registered charity, and an umbrella organisation which sets the National Standards to which Child Contact Centres must work. Child Contact Centres are neutral places where children of separated families can enjoy contact with non-resident parents and sometimes other family members, in a comfortable and safe environment. Every year, this national organisation via its member centres, support families and children in their local community. There are accredited member centres throughout England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands. They are operated by a variety of independent organisations that form the membership of NACCC. NACCC is unique in the service it provides for local Contact Centres. Many of our members, provide ‘Supported Contact’ They are predominantly open on alternate Saturdays. These centres are only suitable for families that are deemed to present minimal risk of violence or abuse. In some cases, a higher level of supervision is needed because a child or parent is at risk of harm. These are ‘Supervised Contact Centres‘ and are used in these situations, but also can be used to reintroduce a child to a parent where there has been a substantial gap in contact. NACCC has an accreditation process which ensures members meet national standards. An assessor visits every three years to ensure that the centres comply with DBS checks, health and safety legislation, that HR practices are carried out appropriate, their financial situation, their operating procedures are in accordance with the standards, and safeguarding procedures are in place. The assessor then submits a report to NACCC. If the centre does not comply with all areas, an action plan is issued which is time limited. NACCC also delivers high quality training and support to ensure members are well equipped and knowledgeable. In addition, there is a helpline which centres, and parents can ring for advice and guidance, and a safeguarding helpline in the event of an issue arising at the centre.

AUDE is run by an executive committee of university directors of estates that provides strategic oversight to the organisation. They make recommendations on several of the association aspects such as subscription fees and the annual budget as well as managing the election of office holders. Members vote at the AGM to apply or amend recommendations, and elect the officers. The executive committee meets four times a year, discussing and responding to matters presented by the fellow directors (directly and through regional chairs), and by the executive director and staff team. The committee receives the executive director’s quarterly report, which contains updates from each of the topic-based working groups. The meetings are also used to discuss and act on the organisation’s financial performance throughout the year. Furthermore, the meetings provide a useful sounding board and guide to the executive director, Jane White, and the AUDE team in determining the services provided to members and projects undertaken. The team comprises of five members of staff employed on permanent contracts: Executive Director (1.0 FTE) Projects and Engagement Manager (1.0FTE) Events Manager (0.8 FTE) Communications Officer (0.5 FTE) Events and Projects Officer (0.8 FTE) AUDE is a not-for-profit organisation and receives its core funding from member institution subscriptions and training and development activities.

Our Global Organisation The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) is a leading global organisation, which provides health, safety and environmental qualifications. Our internationally recognised qualifications help to raise the competence of safety and environmental professionals as well as individuals at all levels in the workplace. NEBOSH qualifications are highly respected by governments, employers and our learners. Since our inception in 1979 almost 550,000 people from around the world have gained a NEBOSH qualification. Tens of thousands join their number every year, studying with our network of 600 Learning Partners offering exams in over 130 countries. Our vision and mission Our Vision - We enable and inspire the world of work and wider environment to be a safer and healthier place. Our Mission - We provide world-class and accessible, health, safety, environment, risk and wellbeing qualifications and services. Our charitable impacts As an internationally recognised charity NEBOSH plays an important role in the health, safety and environmental professional community. Through NEBOSH qualifications, learners and their employers can improve the lives of people around the world by keeping their colleagues and their communities safe from work-related accidents and ill-health. How many people are we reaching with our messaging? Through our network of learners, employers, Learning Partners, governments and other stakeholders, NEBOSH has a vast international community with which to engage. We have a wide range of channels that can help us to raise the profile of the profession, share best practice and educational content. Who are we reaching around the world? There is a NEBOSH qualification for anyone, at any stage of their career, in any role and in any industry or country around the world. The transition to digital and remote assessments – coupled with the move by many Learning Partners to offer virtual delivery options – has made NEBOSH qualifications even more accessible. How do we provide training and support that is relevant throughout a career? Many learners choose NEBOSH as their preferred HSE qualification(s) and route through continued professional development; they improve their skills, contribute to employer requirements and, in some locations, promote social mobility. We provide qualifications at all levels and offer both general and specialist products. How do our qualifications and services improve health and safety at work? Improving people’s knowledge and skills in workplace health, safety, environment, risk and wellbeing can, in turn, lead to fewer accidents and cases of work-related ill health, an improved environment and greater levels of wellbeing. We collaborate with organisations such as HSE, INSHPO, BCSP, RoSPA, IIRSM and government bodies to raise the profile and recognition of the profession, raise standards and share best practice to further educational opportunities. How do people value our qualifications/services? Time and again our case studies show the impact that our qualifications have on the individuals who achieve them – many health and safety careers have been built on NEBOSH success. Becoming a health and safety professional is a vocation and each and every learner helps to make a difference in their workplace and community. Our qualifications meet specific quality criteria and, where appropriate, are part of a national framework of vocational qualifications.
