Summary:
Chances Give Choices is an established contact service based in Romsey, Hampshire. The service first opened in 2014 and has grown significantly over 10 years; operating in Wiltshire, Dorset, Basingstoke, Winchester and Havant. The centre is situated just outside of Romsey town centre with onsite carparking, however given the distance from the town centre, attending the centre by car is the most convenient way. The town centre has good rail and bus links with plenty of shops, parks and cafes making this an ideal location for community sessions to occur.
The premises are well maintained, clean and child friendly with a good mixture of toys without being cluttered or overwhelming. The centre has access to a small outside area, which is fenced off to other parts of the building, perfect for sunny days or puddle jumping.
The centre has a website and additional leaflets 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.
The CEO works from the Romsey Centre and is very involved in the day to day running of each of the services, as well as the accreditation process. The centre meets the standards for enhanced (supervised) contact accreditation.
