Family support service:

Families under stress are often trapped in a difficult situation – on their own with little money and no confidence. This can put children at risk.

Our long-term approach – supporting and challenging families – gives families opportunities to turn things around together.

We offer support and encourage parents to gain confidence in setting boundaries for their children's behaviour: Confident parents can make for competent children. All the elements of daily life involved in keeping children active, busy, healthy, comfortable and safe are addressed and encouraged.

All Family Support Workers are trained in Child Protection issues, assessment of attachment and parenting skills, Child Development.

We help:

• Children who are neglected or abused
• Children whose parents are separating
• Children having difficulties at school
• Children returning to live at home
• Young people with caring responsibilities
• Families whose tenancy is at risk because of anti-social behaviour
• Families at risk of breakdown
