Why it matters
Overwhelmed parents and kinship carers get practical help with routines, meals and appointments, so children's needs are met consistently and pressure doesn't build into crisis.
Elderly and disabled people stay safe, connected and in control at home, with someone to help with the jobs that have become hard.
Return home interviews, mentoring and family group conferences help children who go missing or are at risk of exploitation, and keep more children safely within their family network.
For councils, schools, courts and police
Assessments, conferences and round-the-clock cover for children's and adult services, schools and academy trusts, courts, youth justice teams and police custody suites. Assessments are written only by Social Work England-registered social workers.
Assessments written by experienced, Social Work England-registered independent social workers, delivered on time and ready for court.
Independent coordinators who bring the family network together to make a safe plan for the child, helping councils meet the duty to offer family group decision-making before care proceedings.
Independent conversations with children after they’ve been missing, to understand why they went and what would keep them safe.
Practical, supportive outreach for schools, academy trusts and councils, helping children back into school and keeping them there.
Practical help for grandparents, relatives and friends raising a child under a special guardianship order or kinship arrangement.
One-to-one mentoring for young people at risk of county lines, criminal or sexual exploitation.
Trained, accurate minute-takers for child protection conferences, core group meetings and strategy meetings.
Practical and emotional support for parents, young people and families going to court.
Registered social workers and experienced support staff to support your adult emergency duty team when demand peaks.
Social Work England-registered social workers and support staff for children’s emergency duty teams.
Trained appropriate adults for children and vulnerable adults detained or interviewed by police, as required under PACE.
Familine Care does not give legal advice or represent anyone in court, and attendance enforcement such as fines and prosecutions stays with the school and council. Anyone who is arrested has the right to free legal advice from a duty solicitor, and we make sure they are put in touch with one.
