Objectives

NACCC is a membership organisation whose centres help around 17000 children a year in their 340 accredited centres. There are two kinds of centres supported centres are a vital part of many communities.  Supervised centres are used for cases where there is a risk of harm. These centres are run by around 4000 volunteer and 1000 employed staff.

At NACCC we are primarily concerned with supporting our members and the existence of clear defined and applied standards in contact centres is critical.  To assist us in reviewing and revising these standards NACCC and our members now have the benefit of an independent Standards Review Panel chaired by a judge.
