Welcare provides emotional and practical support for children and families experiencing temporary or long-term challenges. This includes parents, carers, children, siblings who may not be the primary service user, grandparents, and help with extended family members to help build and strengthen family networks.
Any family with at least one child up to the age of 13 can receive support from Welcare and we will assess what help we are able to provide on a case by case basis.
We take referrals from both professionals and from families directly. Professional referrals may come from social services, schools, health visitors, other voluntary agencies, GPs, etc. provided consent from the family has been given. A family member must sign the referral form to confirm this.
Professionals
Surrey Families
Due to changes affecting the delivery of family support services in Reigate and Banstead and throughout Surrey, we are unable to accept direct referrals at the current time.
All referrals for 1:1 family support need to be directed via the Surrey C-SPA (Children’s Single Point of Access). You can self-refer by contacting the C-SPA on 0300 470 9100 (calls are charged at local rate), or email: cspa@surreycc.gov.uk
The C-SPA will work with you to assess your needs and help find you the most suitable type of support, but you can tell them that you are requesting 1:1 family support when you contact them.
For more information on referring a Surrey family, follow this link.
