"Outstanding provision for my son"

I cannot praise DESC enough for the outstanding provision they have given my son. The staff are caring and understanding, and the facilities are excellent. My son has really thrived since starting and I have seen a huge improvement in his mental health and well-being. I would highly recommend DESC to any parent looking for a supportive and inclusive environment for their child.

"Some positives, but room for improvement"

We've had a mixed experience with DESC. On the one hand, the staff have been very supportive and have helped my child to access some great programs, such as the Dacorum Primary Behaviour Service. However, we've had some issues with communication and have felt that the centre could do more to involve parents in their child's learning. Overall, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster, but we're hoping things will improve soon.

"A truly life-changing experience"

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the team at DESC for the incredible support they provided my child during their time at the centre. The Prince's Trust provision was a game-changer for them and helped them to develop important life skills. I was blown away by the dedication and passion of the staff, who genuinely care about the young people in their care.
