The Family Intervention Service has responsibility for ensuring that those children and families identified as requiring ongoing social work support by the Gateway Service receive this service.
The Family Intervention Service work in partnership with children, their families and other agencies, undertake further assessments of a child’s needs and implement a plan of intervention to meet those needs. Ongoing tailored support is also provided to those children identified as being in need of protection.
When a child can no longer reside with their family the Family Intervention Service continue to endeavour to work in partnership with families to best meet the child’s needs.
