We specialise in working alongside families who are impacted by child-parent abuse, many of whom are at risk of their child being removed by Social Services in order to safeguard their welfare. Our Family Support Workers and parenting experts work holistically with the whole family to avoid family breakdown during periods of crisis, offering additional childcare support packages when required to de-escalate complex family situations (as an additional offer). We also work with families with a multitude of other needs, as itemised in the Criteria section below.
Since 2002 we have delivered practical parenting support to families throughout Hertfordshire working with parents, grandparents, carers and foster-carers to ensure that young persons are given the best possible opportunities to develop and grow.
We have a proven track record in Hertfordshire. Annual data collection reporting demonstrates 82% – 85% of families have stayed together, resulting in improved outcomes within the family and creating significant efficiency savings for the local authority against their placement budget.
Also, we offer preventative family support to families who are not yet at the point of family breakdown but identify that they are moving into a period of crisis and we have an outstanding track record in preventing further escalation and breakdown.
