  • We respond to child protection concerns and initiate Initial CP conferences, we complete thorough assessments which inform the next steps.
  • This can be to offer advice and guidance, short term or long term support as a child in need, to step over to family support colleagues and in some situations may mean seeking legal support and entering proceedings.
  • We also work with children who are looked after which may be because of their being in a residential placement and thus away from home for a significant amount of time.
  • We assess need and draw on our short breaks offer and coordinate care packages.
  • Whatever we do, we do as a team. You will be supported by your line manager but also from being able to seek peer support through group supervision and informal discussions.
