What we do
Barnardo’s will work for a dedicated period of up to 6 months. The work is intensive and will require an agreed timeframe to meet positive outcomes. Using a holistic approach and regular collaboration with the placement lead/carer/social workers, our practitioners deliver an intensive/trauma informed approached aimed to regulate the CYP and improve placement stability and outcomes.
We can help with
- One-to-one support for looked-after children and young people and other vulnerable young people e.g. those on a child protection plan focused on their right to be heard and involved in decisions about them, explaining their wishes, arguing their case. Activities and training for families and professionals.
