Summary:

Wrekin Child Contact Centre is one of three in Shropshire that has existed since 1994. They are a registered charity with a small management committee that includes the Centre Leaders. The Coordinator, the only paid staff member, has been in the post for 21 years and was also involved prior to that for several years so is very experienced. Volunteers are appropriately recruited, trained and supported. The Centre is very conscious of confidentiality so the minimum of information about families is recorded and paper files are used. Comprehensive referral and pre-contact forms are completed. The Centre has been able to operate during the pandemic and has put the necessary measures in place to operate safely. It has suitable facilities for people with disabilities. Any recommendations as a result of this accreditation assessment are now achieved.
