two.1.4) Short description
Providers of the Locality and Intensive Family Support Services will support the aims and objectives of the Services by:
- Providing holistic, nurturing and relationship-based family support, where every child and young person is supported to achieve their full potential by adopting a strengths-based and rights-enabling approach that focuses on individual and family assets.
- Supporting meaningful partnership working and collaborative problem solving by seeing families as experts in their own lives.
- Listening to what families are saying, what they say they need and how they want to achieve it, and work in partnership with them to identify supports and solutions that can help.
- Working with children, young people, their parents, brothers and sisters, and wider family members as appropriate, to provide practical and emotional support. This will include tailored intervention with holistic, wraparound scaffolding and provision of timely, responsive, and flexible supports to meet the individual needs of the whole family.
- Committing to tackling financial exclusion and viewing families’ pressures and stressors through a poverty and trauma-informed lens, contributing to reducing social inequalities and helping families to connect with supports within their neighbourhoods.
- Building on individual and family community networks, supporting long-term resilience and meaningful change to improve wellbeing and deliver positive, lasting outcomes for families that will allow them to confidently move on from the service.
- Being empathic and enabling, by asking, ‘What will it take to keep this family together?’ and ‘What can I do to support this family today?’
- Providing support to every child, young person, and family to help them contribute positively to their communities throughout their lives.
- Continuing to develop the service collaboratively with stakeholders and in particular by embedding the successful elements of the current service into a model of practice.
