Welfare Support
We complete welfare checks and child protection visits when there are concerns for the welfare of children and young people.
Willow Tree Family Services (WTFS) promotes policies and practices that keep children and young people safe within their family and strengthen the community networks of those children who cannot live at home.
We campaign for families to have their voice heard, be treated fairly and get help early to prevent problems escalating. Our services include Welfare Checks, Family Contact, Parenting Support, Community Assessments and Support, Family Court Expert Witness Work, Life Story Work, Outreach Work, Reverse Parenting Assessments and Appropriate Adult Work.
We complete welfare checks and child protection visits when there are concerns for the welfare of children and young people.
When parents separate, children and young people will often have an arrangement to meet with the parent they are no longer living with.
We can support families in their homes when they are facing complex issues and life challenges.
WTFS provides Community Assessment packages for children, young people and their families.
Rarely as a semi-independent accommodation and service provider do we gain an insight into the lived experience of a young person. The information provided by Willow Tree Children’s Services such as the baseline needs assessment and various risk assessments were detailed covering a significant amount of information. The information was nuanced and sensitive with supporting evidence arising from incidents rather than generic scenarios.
On a consistent basis my organisation has placed reliance on both the quality and breadth of information provided by WTCS which has enabled us to assess whether the behaviours exhibited by the young person were isolated or a pattern. The information provided has helped to fill the gaps and act as a catalyst for professional enquiry and judgement.
I take this opportunity, on behalf of all colleagues at my organisation, to thank WTCS for the excellent work they have produced.
