Summary:
Oakleigh Community Church’s contact centre is a new project situated in the Totteridge and Whetstone area of Barnet. It is a residential area, close to public transport links with no restrictions to street parking. There are several small cafes situated nearby.
The premises were spotlessly clean, inviting, and well-prepared, with refreshments available. There is a wide selection of toys, many of which appear to be new and for different stages of child development and met the standards required by NACCC for supervised contact settings.
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 staff expressed strong commitment and passion for the service, emphasizing their aim to support local children and families. Any recommended actions following the visit are now complete meaning the service meets the standards for enhanced (supervised) family time accreditation.
