Children with Disabilities and Complex Needs
This is a supportive multi-disciplinary environment providing a comprehensive social work service to young people with disabilities and complex needs aged 0-18. There are also services for young people aged 0-18 infected or affected by HIV/ AIDS.
Due to the complex nature of our work, which is often multi-disciplinary and diverse, we adopt the team-around-the-child model. This encourages working in partnership with young people, parents, carers and families. The team includes a communication specialist who facilitates effective communication using both verbal and non-verbal strategies.
We support disabled young people within their family networks by providing respite packages and short breaks. We also undertake safeguarding assessments, and offer the full range of social work interventions for children looked after and children in need.
