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.

Accreditation Summary
Date: 24/02/2025
Summary:
This was an ‘Outreach’ service assessment which is linked to the accreditation of another service, and is therefore linked in terms of policy, procedure, forms, and templates. The purpose of this assessment was to ensure that the venue was appropriate for its purpose.
Fair Ways is a registered charity which runs several child focused projects including an accredited service in Southampton and has opened an outreach service in Eastleigh. The centre is based in a residential area and was formerly a home. Onsite parking is available with public transport links.
Fair Ways Contact Hub in Eastleigh has a family friendly, cosy environment that looks like a living room. The rooms feel calm, and the rooms have been designed with children in mind. Toys and activities are stored away as to not feel cluttered and families will have access to therapeutic areas when not in use including a reading room and an art room.
The manager and their team are all experienced and the Fair Ways organisation overall is very well thought out. The centre meets the requirements for the Outreach assessment.
