ABOUT US

The Edge of Care Team is made up of 2 Deputy Team Managers, 1 Team Manager and 24 Family Support Workers. The team work in partnership with children and their families or carers to provide services aiming to promote positive change, the resilience of children and the stability of their placements (at home or in accommodation) through task-focussed time-limited interventions and packages of direct work. The team also works to reunify children back home from care settings and to enable children to step down from residential care to foster care and offer preventative support where a current assessment indicates family breakdown.
The Out of Hours Response Service (ORS) contributes to the department’s emergency provision on a countywide basis. We ensure identified staff members are available, on a rota basis, to respond within one hour of a request for a service.
