We work with families in their home and the support could involve meeting parents separately, the child separately and together as a whole family. The support we offer varies from family to family and we can also offer bespoke support. We will work with, and support families across a variety of issues such as; SEND, EBSA, behaviour management, financial issues, domestic abuse, mental health, housing, drug and alcohol misuse etc.
How schools refer to us
Schools refer to the Trust Family Support service requesting family support. Parental consent must be given first. Families are not able to
self-refer to the team, but please speak to your school if you feel your family requires support.
