Summary:
Oswestry Child Contact Centre has been running since 1996 as part of Shropshire Child Contact Centres (registered charity). The child contact centre is based in the Senior Citizens Club which is centrally located with car parking and local bus services. The nearest station is 2 miles to the north of the town in Gobowen.
The premises are clean and bright, accessible for the disabled with books, craft items and small toys available for families. Families are also encouraged to bring their own toys to the sessions.
The centre has a detailed, bright, and inviting website and leaflets with a range of information included on these for the 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.
Oswestry Child Contact Centre is led by a very experienced, active and committed Management team, the coordinator has 27 years’ experience and the volunteers are welcoming and friendly. Any recommended actions following the visit are now complete meaning the service meets the standards for supported contact accreditation.
