| SUPPORTING
CHILDREN AND FAMILIES |
|
|
All children need
support. However, for some children, and their families,
the need is greater due to disability or
some other factor. We work in partnership with families and health or
social work professionsl to provide that support,
at home, at school or at play.

|
staffing: Our
staff are trained and experienced in care, support, learning
and physical disabilities, specific health issues (epilepsy,
eating difficulties etc). All are police
checked. Additional training will be given in
response to the needs of the individual child. |

Who decides what staff do and how
they do it? |
|
| |
You, plus your social worker or health
professional/advisor. Our staff will work to a
detailed support plan agreed with yourself and any social work
or health professional involved in your child's care. |
