Accreditation Summary
Date: 12/01/2024
Summary:
Havant Child Contact Centre has moved premises following their accreditation visit in 2024 and therefore was visited in April 2026 to ensure that the venue was appropriate for its purpose. The summary below has been altered accordingly to take account of the new venue.
Havant Child Contact Centre has been running since 1999 and is run alongside the centre in Waterlooville with the same co-ordinator managing both centres. The centre benefits from strong and accessible public transport links and has parking available. The centre is now situated in the heart of Havant at The Pallant community centre.
The new premises at The Pallant have been carefully considered and risk assessed, with evidence confirming that the environment is suitable for purpose. The layout, including two bright and airy family time rooms and separate entrances, supports both safety and privacy for service users.
The centre has leaflets available with a range of information included on these 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.
Havant Child Contact Centre is an experienced and well-run supported contact centre with friendly and approachable volunteers. The coordinator (along with the support of committee members and volunteers) worked extremely hard to ensure procedures and the correct paperwork are of a high standard, ensuring the safety for all who attend the centre. Any recommended actions following the visit are now complete meaning the service meets the standards for supported contact accreditation.
