Welcome to Accolade House. We are a residential family centre in Widnes, Halton, offering accommodation for one large family (up to two parents and three children). We provide a non-judgmental environment for parents to develop good parenting skills and rebuild family bonds, aiming for positive and lasting change away from court or local authority identified risks. We offer a nurturing environment for children to grow, thrive, and bond with their parents during the 12-week assessment.
Accolade House provides a stress-free environment for families to demonstrate their parenting capacity during a 12-week assessment. Our evidence-based recommendations ensure the child’s safety and evaluate whether parents can care for their child in the community. We offer a secure space for children to bond with their parents while addressing safety concerns. Our approach helps parents build confidence and develop skills, measured against the child’s progress.
Our centre conducts thorough evaluations of parenting skills tailored to each family’s needs. We provide mid-way and final reports that align with court instructions and local authority requirements, delivered within specified timescales.
The family centre is a warm, welcoming environment and is situated in Widnes, Cheshire. The family rooms are furnished to a high standard and have the necessities parents will need throughout their stay. There is adequate accommodation for two parents and two children. There is a lounge, a space/playroom. There is a kitchen and dining area where parents are encouraged to cook their meals and enjoy meals together as a family.
We have a small garden space to the rear of the house and space indoors for children to play, including age-appropriate stimulating toys and games.
The centre is within walking distance of local amenities. Parents are encouraged to participate in groups and access education and community resources to benefit themselves and their children.
We operate under the Residential Family Centres National Minimum Standards 2013 and Residential Family Centres Regulations 2002 (amendment 2013), forming the regulatory framework under the Care Standards Act 2000.
