If your family time happens in the community The service might use local community venues to deliver their service or in some cases, residential properties including family members’ homes, where this is safe and appropriate., then the assessor will check that this is going to be safe for you.

Summary:
Bold Moves is a limited company set up in 2015 starting out in Luton and then expanding to Norwich, Plymouth, and Hampstead. The centre has good transport links with local bus stops 5-minutes’ walk away and local train links from London and the southwest. The area is mainly residential with shops, cafes, and bakeries nearby and Hampstead Heath Park 8 minutes’ walk away. The building used for the contact service is a junior school which is attached to the C of E church (entrance is via the side entrance).
The centre has the good facilities including a good hall space, a couple of individual rooms, toilets, and a nice outdoor secure space. The visiting or resident parent are expected to bring toys for the children to play with. If a parent is unable to bring a selection of toys, the centre does have some toys available to use.
The centre has an excellent website where all the information about Family Services can found along with other services offered by Bold Moves. Children will be invited to visit with the resident parent during the contact planning meeting, so they are able to look around the premises and gain some understanding of what a contact centre is and the role of the supervisor.
There is a wealth of experience within the staff team – they are committed to their roles and the families they work with. Any recommended actions following the visit are now complete meaning the service meets the standards for enhanced (supervised) accreditation.
