Team Manager - Family Safeguarding

They are proud to be one of just a few local authorities in the country using the Family Safeguarding Model, bringing together one team of workers with a range of skills and knowledge to offer help and support to families experiencing a wide range of challenges.

Their Family Safeguarding Model teams include:

• Social Workers – who work directly with families and support them to identify and make lasting changes that improve their lives
• Domestic Abuse Practitioners – who support individuals experiencing or who have experienced domestic abuse, helping them understand the impact on themselves and their children
• Recovery Workers – who work with families seeking support with alcohol or substance misuse issues
• Mental Health Workers – who support parents to understand their thoughts and emotions and the impact their mental health may have on their children

Together, these teams combine their knowledge and expertise to assess the needs of the whole family, providing tailored services and support to meet those needs.
