The stakeholders of the Ark Centre CIC are the parents and therapists. We provide daily handovers and online session notes and photos for each client. Each client is provided with monthly meetings with parents to discuss their child’s progress and their aspirations. We also hold regular meetings with parent groups to get feedback on the services provided and send out anonymous questionnaires. We reach out to local settings to offer training and support and invite them to attend sessions in our setting. We hold weekly meetings with the whole team to provide further training, updates on the childrens programmes and to encourage the team to give their opinions on how we can better the workplace for the staff and service for the clients. We hold regular performance reviews with staff to ensure they are performing to the standard we require and to ensure they are happy with the Ark Centre CIC.
