The Contact Centre: Scope, Function, & Limits
The Contact Centre
Scope, Function, and the Error of Overreach
A Procedural Reference by SWANK London LLC
This document does not critique practice.
It defines limits.
Produced by SWANK London LLC, this archive-grade reference sets out — with deliberate precision — what a Contact Centre providing supervised or supported family contact is, is not, and must not quietly become.
It exists because facilitative services are increasingly mistaken for governance, and neutrality is too often replaced with control.
What This Is
A controlled, citation-ready clarification of the Contact Centre’s lawful role, written for those who require:
- procedural accuracy,
- role containment,
- and protection from institutional overreach.
It distinguishes facilitation from regulation, observation from judgment, and support from surveillance.
Every sentence is jurisdictional.
Every boundary is intentional.
What This Is Not
- Not a complaint
- Not guidance
- Not advocacy
- Not therapeutic
- Not personalised
This is structural clarification.
Inside
• The Contact Centre’s proper function and limits
• Core duties that are routinely blurred
• Explicit prohibitions (what must not occur)
• Indicators of Contact Centre role drift
• A canon statement suitable for annex, audit, or record
Written to withstand judicial, professional, and retrospective scrutiny.
Why This Exists
Because contact exists to preserve relationship, not to police it.
Because emotional expression is not misconduct.
Because services without authority should not acquire it by habit.
Use
✔ Reference
✔ Oversight
✔ Annex

✔ Quiet correction
Not for debate.
For record.
Format: PDF
Classification: Contact / Welfare / Oversight
Tone: Non-directive. Non-accusatory. Unignorable.
Filed with deliberate punctuation.
Preserved for litigation, education, and memory.
Because role boundaries deserve elegance.
And overreach deserves an archive.
