We offer more focused support to families for up to 6 months if they are experiencing multiple or complex issues.

We work with the family and alongside other relevant agencies to support the family through a coordinated family plan with clear, agreed objectives.

Examples of the issues we may support families and children with include:

• Excluded from school or having difficulties engaging with education
• Currently or at risk of becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training)
• Affected by domestic abuse or parental conflict
• Demonstrating risk-taking behaviour
  • Parent of a young person affected by poor mental health
  • Impacted by poor attachments or relationships within the family
• Having difficulty parenting in a consistent way
• Impacted by financial problems and debt
• Having difficulty maintaining boundaries and expectations within the home
• Vulnerable to exploitation
• In a home environment impacting on the health and wellbeing of a child
• Affected by health-related challenges that make family life more difficult

If you would like to request Level 3 support this should be requested using the report a concern form (MARF)

Note: The Family Support Service does not provide whole-family support (Level 3) when a child or young person is open to Statutory Children’s Services.
