  @ MP voted no to require facilities and organisations enabling children to meet the parents they don't live with to be accredited in accordance with national standards in relation to safeguarding and preventing domestic abuse.
  
  The majority of MPs voted not to require facilities and organisations enabling children to meet the parents they don't live with to be accredited in accordance with national standards in relation to safeguarding and preventing domestic abuse.
  
  MPs were considering the Domestic Abuse Bill.[1][2]
  
  The motion supported by a majority of MPs in this vote was:
  
  :That this House disagrees with Lords amendment 9
  
  Lords amendment 9[3] stated:
  
  :Page 35, line 19, at end insertâ
  :â( ) ensure all child contact centres and organisations that offer child contact services are accredited in accordance with national standards in relation to safeguarding and preventing domestic abuse as specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State.â
  
  The rejected amendment would have impacted clause 55 of the Bill[4] titled ''Support provided by local authorities to victims of domestic abuse'' and would have added an additional duty for relevant local councils.  
  
  The explanatory notes to the Lords amendments[5] stated :
  
  :"Lords Amendment 9 would provide that each local authority in England must ensure that all child contact centres and organisations that offer child contact services are accredited in accordance with national standards in relation to safeguarding and preventing domestic abuse. The standards would be set by regulations made by the Secretary of State."
  
  Child contact centres are not defined in the Bill however the term is used to describe facilities for children to meet the parents they don't live with.[6]
