Our work in partnership with Schools
Welcare staff have piloted a Child and Family well-being programme in partnership with schools in Lambeth and Redhill. This partnership is supported by the Southwark Diocesan Board of Education (SDBE) and enables community family support services to be delivered from schools. During the year we have secured additional funding to expand the programme.
We can send you further information about the focus of the work but it would be helpful to set up a meeting with you or a member of your pastoral support team to discuss further.
What Welcare can offer schools in the partnership
- A professional, confident and creative support service delivered by qualified and trained staff including management by an experienced senior social worker
- #CapeAbility for Schools - aimed at pupils facing difficulties with social and emotional wellbeing, or at risk of school exclusion
- Individual Family Support - includes our established professional and community links to support families to access local support, emergency funds and support navigating statutory services
- Evaluation –we will use MyStar and Family Outcome Star+ to measure the impact made.
What we expect from partner schools
- The child will be the focus of the support offered
- All referrals to Welcare will be made by a designated lead member of staff. One member of staff will be our primary contact throughout the academic year
- Welcare will generate funding to enable the work but we ask schools to consider supporting our work by encouraging the school to use our CapeAbilty campaign resources.
