How is a centre checked?
An assessorSomeone working on our behalf who has experience and an interest in child contact services and must assess if a service meets our standards. looks round the centre’s rooms, toys, equipment, and any outside play areas to make sure that they are safe and good for you to use. They talk with the people at the centre to make sure that they are trained and helped to do their job as well as possible. They then check the informationThe assessor checks through the centre’s accreditation portfolio which includes policies, procedures, risk assessments, reports (if the service offers supervised contact) and information for families. on what happens at the centre and how it keeps you safe. If your family time happens in the community The service might use local community venues to deliver their service or in some cases, residential properties including family members’ homes, where this is safe and appropriate., then the assessor will check that this is going to be safe for you.

Accreditation Summary
Date: 05/02/2026
Summary:
This was an ‘Outreach’ service assessment which is linked to the accreditation of another service, and is therefore linked in terms of policy, procedure, forms, and templates. The purpose of this assessment was to ensure that the venue was appropriate for its purpose.
This is a second venue for Protego Contact Services which is now branching out to expand availability and to cover a bigger area. The new venue is based in Potters Barr and is linked with the main centre in Finchley. The building is managed by the church which also runs the community centre. Potters Barr has local transport links and there is a carpark at the centre.
The centre evidenced a bright, child friendly room during the assessment which they will have sole use of. The room is based on the first floor, however there is a lift to allow for accessibility, as well as access to other rooms should the service need a bigger space.
The coordinator worked well with the assessor during this process. The centre meets the requirements for the Outreach assessment.
