Summary:
Families First Contact Ltd is a new service providing supervised family time in the London area. This service will be community based with a comprehensive risk assessment plan to ensure that all buildings used are safe and appropriate.
The service has leaflets available with a range of information included on these for the children and families that may use the service. 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 manager was very knowledgeable and child focused and the organisation worked well with the assessor to get all documentation prepared. Any recommended actions following the visit are now complete meaning the service meets the standards for enhanced (supervised) contact accreditation.
