REFERRALS

We offer a variety of personalised services to meet the unique needs of each family.

Families will have a dedicated Key Support Worker who will provide ongoing assistance and conduct weekly progress reviews. We offer support for parents in practical skills like independent living and parenting tasks such as bottle preparation, healthy cooking, and nappy changing. Additionally, we assist parents in learning life skills such as understanding the effects of neglect and understand the impact of domestic abuse/substance misuse has on their child/ren. We encourage them to participate in motivational support groups to maximise their parenting potential.

MAKE A REFERRAL

Our parent's tailored plans encourages constructive learning to achieve positive changes within their child/ren's life.

Throughout their stay, families receive a personalised plan designed to address their specific needs. This plan includes a teaching programme aimed at helping parents identify and address any concerns in their child/ren’s lives, facilitating positive changes for the family.

Weekly reviews of this teaching programme are conducted with the parents, our team of family support workers, or with the Local Authority to ensure progress is on track.

We will arrange a Midway Meeting with the Local Authority after 6 weeks, to discuss the progress parents have made. Social Workers will attend the Midway Meeting and provide a report for Care planning Meetings and Looked After Children (LAC) reviews.
