An assessorSomeone working on our behalf who has experience and an interest in child contact services and must assess if a service meets our standards. looks round the rooms, toys, equipment, and any outside play areas to make sure that they are safe and good for you to use. They talk with the people at the centre to make sure that they are trained and helped to do their job as well as possible. They then check the informationThe assessor checks through the centre’s accreditation portfolio which includes policies, procedures, risk assessments, reports (if the service offers supervised contact) and information for families. on what happens at the centre and how it keeps you safe.
When the assessor is happy that a centre meets our standards then they are awarded their accreditation and you can find them on this website. Accreditation happens every three years with extra checks if needed.

Summary:
Andover Child Contact Centre has been running for over 20 years. The centre uses the Baptist Church’s hall and has a central location in Andover close to public transport links. There is plenty of parking for families as they can use the church’s car park. There are several local parks with swings, slides and large green areas for families to use if they are able to have time out of the contact centre.
There is an excellent choice of toys the centre provides but families bring their own toys/games and refreshments to the sessions. The facilities at the centre are excellent and kept to a very high standard.
The service has a detailed, bright, and inviting website and leaflets with a range of information included on these for the 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.
The volunteer team are well supported by the co-ordinator and the Chair. The centre meets the standards for supported family time accreditation.
