I used the Service in Fareham. Had to use facilities (under judges rules to obtain professional stance/opinion on parenting) which were very hit and miss with booking out rooms, leaving you to use little office rooms or meeting rooms with no toys or facilities. The room that did have facilities has no windows, no air-con for the first few months and they encouraged me and my 4 year old to play the Xbox, as not allot else to play with unless your a baby or are happy to use a semi-functioning pool table at 50 p/h at 2 hours a week for the first few months. After around 7 months of using the service, allot of wasted money on both parents parts and an extra hearing taking place as they didn't do their bit and write reports for the judges, the only reason they were involved, they gave a very vague report but not with any of the information which was crucial for court. I was told after I complained that 'no news was good news'. Of course, not in a judges eyes! The staff were okay, quite supportive but again couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. If any parents need to use a similar service for contact/courts I would not recommend this rip off of a service, they do not keep the parents or the Children's best interests in mind, we'd have probably been better off with Roberts center in Portsmouth.
