Welfare Support
Welfare Checks & Child Protection Visits
We complete welfare checks and child protection visits when there are concerns for the welfare of children and young people, thereby providing backup cover for Local Authority Social Workers at night and during weekends and bank holidays. We work closely with Emergency Duty Teams to offer out-of-hours support.
Our staff can support with statutory Child Protection Visits and LAC Visits. We are able to do this both locally and with out-of-area placements. Our staff are able to move children and young people from one setting to another when necessary.
Kind Words
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.
