Family Support Teams are made up of ASYE, Social Workers, and Senior Practitioners, along with a Deputy Team Manager and a Team Manager.
We handle Child in Need, Child Protection, Looked After Children, and Court cases through to the end of proceedings. On average, caseloads consist of 10 families, approximately 22 children, with a mix of CIN and CP cases. More experienced staff may hold court cases, with no more than 3 families at one time, which can include private proceedings and completing Section 7 or 37 reports.
Supervision is held every 4 weeks, including personal and case supervision. Our current working arrangements due to COVID-19 include home visits for all children and families within statutory timescales. When staff are not completing visits, they work from home, and most meetings (core group, family support, and Strategy Meetings) are held via Microsoft Teams. All staff have access to their own smartphone and Surface Pro tablet. Staff are expected in the office only if they are on duty (approximately 3 times a month) or have planned office work.
In Family Support, we have access to FAST and SAIT, which allows us to refer families for direct work, interventions, and assessments. This includes parenting skills, boundaries, managing behavior, specialist assessments (PAMS, Adult Attachment Interview, Story Stems), and much more.
