Summary:
Achieving for Children operates an established contact centre in Twickenham. The centre is close to public transport links and although there is no onsite parking there is plentiful nearby street parking and council carparks. The centre’s location allows for community-based family time sessions to be managed effectively where required.
The premises are appropriate, accessible, and well maintained. The family time rooms vary in size, enabling the service to accommodate families of different sizes and children of different ages. The rooms are child-friendly, welcoming, and suitably equipped to promote positive family time experiences. The centre has some small outdoor areas which are gated and for specific rooms only.
The centre has leaflets and documents with a range of information included on these for the children and families that may use the centre. This information helps them to anticipate everything from making a referral to the appropriate steps to take if they are unhappy or feel unsafe.
Staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional and throughout the visit it was evident that the service places children at the centre of practice. Any recommended actions following the visit are now complete meaning the service meets the standards for enhanced (supervised) family time accreditation.
