Summary:
Englefield Green Child Contact Centre has been in operation from July 2012. The contact service uses the Village Centre community building on a Saturday and has sole use of the building when the centre is in operation. The centre is located just off the main high street in Englefield Green village. There is a local bus service which connects families coming from the nearest train station, Egham. Street parking is available near the centre, with a car park 5 minutes’ walk away. The centre has no outdoor facilities but the local cricket ground is a 7 minute walk away.
The centre operates from the ground floor and has an excellent choice of equipment and a great space available for parents and children to use. The centre provides a good selection of materials and space for physical activities such as skittles, football and basketball. The centre always offers a drink to the families in attendance and the volunteers and has affordable food for families to buy. Most families though bring their own refreshments.
The centre has an easy-to-use website and leaflets that gives families and referrers a flavour of what a supported contact centre provides. 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 coordinator has worked extremely hard to ensure procedures and the correct paperwork are of a high standard, ensuring the safety for all who attend the centre. The centre meets the standards for supported contact accreditation.
