Third-year Placement - Barncroft (2.5 hours)

Visited Barncroft Centre. The service users seem to be mingling about and very happy to be there. Met members of staff and service users. It is going to be difficult to remember all the names and faces. I was shown round and introduced to everyone. The people are all very warm and welcoming. The centre seems to offer excellent services and provides a free flexible and safe space for those with learning disabilities. This could be a promising placement.
