Summary:
Negotiators Family Centre Limited was formed in 2007 and has three child contact centres in London. Their centre in Lewisham is near to local shops, a market, indoor shopping centre and a park area. There is limited parking outside the centre but there is a good rail and bus route service.
The centre is clean and inviting with plenty of information displayed, including leaflets for referrers and children. The centre has bright and bold pictures on the walls. The three contact rooms are spacious with equipment for all age ranges for children. The centre does not have any outside play area although within a 10-15-minute walk there is a local play area.
The centre has an easy to navigate website and leaflets 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.
The director of Negotiators Family Centre Ltd has a wealth of experience and supports all the workers at the centre. It was a pleasure to visit their venue in Lewisham. Any recommended actions following the visit are now complete meaning the service meets the standards for enhanced (supervised) accreditation.
