We work alongside other relevant agencies to ensure that we support families to create their own sustainable family plans that really make a real difference to their lives.
The Children and Families Worker role is to provide one to one support to children, young people and their families, drawing on their strengths and helping them to build supportive networks. Within this role, there is also an element of statutory work for example working with children/young people missing from home and those at risk of CSE/CCE.
