Family Support Service
The Family Support Service’s primary focus is to offer a service to children who have been identified as requiring a child protection plan. The service also works with children who have been identified as children in need and who are thought to be at some risk or who have very complex needs.
During the course of 2007/8, the number of children subject to child protection plans was 270-230 with a further 400 children in need. The team works closely with families and professionals to address the issues of concern, based on a planning process that includes regular reviews.
