Summary:
Hall Green Child Contact Centre is a very well-run centre which has been operating since 2011, approximately 20 minutes’ drive from Birmingham city centre. The centre is accessible by public transport and there is ample parking for cars in the small car park or on the road.
The centre is based in the Church of the Ascension church hall, and uses the main hall and other facilities on the ground floor for family visits. The centre provides a welcoming environment for families and has a broad selection of toys, games and play equipment available for children to suit a variety of ages. Parents and children are also bringing their own toys to use during the session. The centre benefits from a grassed area for outdoor play.
Hall Green has a very informative and well-organised website and leaflets for the children and families who 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 centre was extremely helpful during the re-accreditation process, and the team were able to talk through the systems and procedures that they use to keep families safe. Any recommended actions following the visit are now complete meaning the service meets the standards for supported contact accreditation.
