Thanks so much for drumming this into me. I’ve finally figured it out. You were correct on both accounts i.e. needed to be inside the loop and also needed to use

$category->term_id

So the final code I have is

<?php
$cat = get_query_var('cat');
$args = array(
	'child_of' => $cat,
	'orderby' => 'name',
	'order' => 'ASC'
	);
	
	$categories = get_categories($args);
	foreach($categories as $category) { 
	$attachment_id = get_field('cat_half_image', 'category_'. $category->term_id .'');
	$size = "half-img";
	echo '<div class="cat-block g_6">';
	echo '<a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment_id, $size );
	echo '<h2>'. $category->name . '</h2>';
	echo '</a>';
	echo '<p>'. $category->description . '</p>';
	echo '</div>'; }
?>
