Family Support

#TeamLeaForest - We're here to help...

If you, or your family need advice or support we are here to help.

We will not judge you , or your situation, and cannot wave a magic wand to fix it all; but we can help you to work out a plan and provide support and links to other community organisations.

Early Help Assessment and Our Family Plan

If your family has more than one area of need, we can help to put a plan together for you . This will involve conversations with one of our Safeguarding Team to find out the viewpoint of you and your children about what is going well, what you are worried about and what needs to change. We will then set targets and work out support for your family.

Think Family

If your family has multiple areas of need or requires the support of a family support worker, then we can review your plan with you and, with your consent, involve other agencies to provide extra support.
