...so that parenting
needn't end when a
partnership does

Are there any rules?
As few as possible! However, the Centre is used by several families at the same time, so we have to ensure the safety of everyone and consideration for others:

  • Parents are responsible for the safety and supervision of their children at all times while at the Centre. No child may be left without a parent in attendance.
  • You must provide a contact telephone number when handing over children at the Centre.
  • A child may only be taken from the Centre during a visit if this is stated on the referral form, or with the written consent of both parents.
  • Relatives or friends can only attend if they are named on the referral form.
  • There must be no arguing in front of any of the children. Abusive or aggressive behaviour and racist or other offensive remarks will not be tolerated. Any visitor acting in such a way will be asked to leave.
  • Finally, please: No smoking in the Centre. Switch off your mobile phone while you’re with your child. Don’t bring any pets. No taking photographs, video filming, or use of portable computers unless the other party and the Co-ordinator or Team Leader have given their permission. Alcohol, drugs or anyone under the influence of these will not be allowed onto the premises.
