​Family and Child Support for Schools (FACSS)

Can your staff meet the needs of your families? Do you struggle to know where to get support for your families? ​Our Family and Child Support for Schools (FACSS) Service could be for you.
FACSS provides your staff with:
​
  • A family support hotline to access case advice and guidance from experienced local Family Support Workers when needed
  • A network of other Family Support Workers to enable peer support and termly (3 x per year) workshops to discuss practice issues
  • Regular newsletters with practice and guideline updates
  • Access to toolkits and resources
  • Reduced training rates for Continued Professional Development in Family Support Work.
 
We understand that with Social Care and intervention support thresholds rising there is more demand placed on schools to provide early support to families and enable children to access education than ever before.

Our new FACSS service supports schools to meet the needs of their families.
