Team Around the Family

Team Around the Family (TAF) is an Early Intervention and Prevention Service who aim to support children and young aged 0-25 years and thier families/carers. Children, Young People and their Families/Carers sometimes need a little extra help for them to have happy, healthy and successful lives. Team Around the Family can offer advice, help and support in pulling together the right people to help. We may not always be able address presenting issues that families may face however, we can signpost to appropriate agencies to enable families to address them.

How it works:

- Someone, it could be you, has some concerns or worries about a child, young person or family.
- The Family, Child or Young Person is contacted and these concerns are discussed with them.
- Together we look at ways to help.
- A small number of people who we think can really help are asked to be part of a Team around the Family.
- We work together with the Child, Young Person and Family to draw up a plan
- ONE person will make sure the plan is followed
