Summary:
The Salvation Army – Worthing child contact centre is an established service, in operation since 2015. The centre is at the end of the main high street with a variety of shops and affordable cafes and the local beach is five-minutes’ walk away. The centre is a 15-minute walk away from Worthing Rail Station and local buses run frequently to enable families to access the centre. The centre has limited parking but there are plenty of car parks and meter parking on the side streets.
The centre has an excellent choice of equipment and a great space available for parents and children to use. Families can choose which table they want to use with their children. Often families will return to the same table for consistency.
The centre has a 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.
It is clear from the assessor meeting parents, children and volunteers that the Salvation Army – Worthing child contact centre offers an invaluable service for those families that have attended and presently attend. The centre meets the standards for supported contact accreditation
