Families & Networks

Our dedicated Placement and Family Support worker is available to support the whole family and network of each child in our care. Working together, we aim to promote the recovery of both the child and, where possible, the family.

Where a child's next placement is fostering or adoption, we work closely with all concerned to prepare the child and the family, and to ensure that the fostering or adoption placement is a success.

When it is time for a child to move on, the Placement and Family Support worker helps the family and network think and plan each step. Some children may continue with part of their treatment: staying on at school, continuing with therapy and family support at home, for example. Others may move on completely, but may need a more intensive package of support. We are able to tailor what we provide to each individual.
