Summary:
Wycombe Child Contact Centre has been open since 1999 and is run from Union Baptist Church, The Hub. Access to the centre is via a multi-storey car park to the side of the church building. High Wycombe has good transport links and as mentioned, parking is available in the multi-storey. There is a park nearby with children’s swings, small café and toilets and large grassed areas to play ball games.
The centre has an excellent choice of equipment and a great space available for parents and children to use. Families can bring in toys for their children if they wish but the volunteers on duty will ensure that the toys are suitable and safe.
The centre has a detailed, bright, and inviting website with a range of information included on this 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 Wycombe Child Contact Centre offers an invaluable service for those families that have attended and presently attend. Any recommended actions following the visit are now complete meaning the service meets the standards for supported contact accreditation.
