Summary:
Barnet Family Resource Centre (Barnet Council) is based within a local housing estate and currently offers predominantly to Barnet social care teams. Parking is available by the centre along with local buses and trains within a 10 minute walk away.
The centre was purpose-built with an excellent variety of equipment for all ages of children and has several good sized rooms for contact sessions and all rooms lead off into the secure garden area.
The centre has a range of information 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 observed to be very passionate about their role and ensured that all paperwork was ready for the re-accreditation. The centre meets the standards for enhanced (supervised) contact accreditation.
