Summary:
Melton Mowbray Child Contact Centre is a well-established supported centre which has been running for nearly 25 years. The centre has recently moved from its previous premises and is now using a large community church building called The Hope Centre. This is situated in the town centre, very close to the main High Street and can be accessed from the corner of a large public car park. There are multiple public transport links very close by. The central location makes it suitable for handovers to take place, where agreed.
The family time room was well laid out, with comfortable sofas for families to use, tables and chairs and a large play space in the centre of the room. There were many toys laid out, and a huge storage area with many more games/toys, should they be required. The room felt welcoming and inviting.
The centre has a detailed, bright, and inviting website and leaflets with a range of information included on these for the children and families that 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 co-ordinator and the wider team remain committed to the smooth and successful running of the centre. The co-ordinator was well-prepared for the re-accreditation and answered any questions promptly. The centre meets the standards for supported contact accreditation.
