We recognise that providing the right type ofsupportat the right time for families is key to working effectively and that lasting relationships with professionals is central to working alongside families and their networks.
Working alongside families using our Restorative Model of practice, we use family led-decision making strategies and Motivational Interviewing skills to help families access creative and targetedsupportpackages that will help to develop meaningful and lasting change for families.
This includes increased capacity to manage complex parenting challenges and reducing risks within family networks and across our community. .
Our Family Help service is delivered through the ‘Family Safeguarding model’ which delivers a whole family approach tosupport.
