Framework for Family Support Hours in the London Borough of Waltham Forest

LB Waltham Forest is commissioning an Open Framework for family support service to provide support and interventions to children and families in their own homes or other designated settings. Family Support Workers will help build relationships, increase wellbeing, improve outcomes, provide practical help and deliver interventions to increase parenting skills and more generally bridge the gap of support between families and statutory services. They are a flexible resource that the council can deploy to support children and families. The service will provide bespoke intervention support packages, using a flexible whole family approach that focuses on turning lives around and creating positive outcomes for Children in Need, Children in Care, Children with a Disability and Children subject to a Child Protection Plan.
