Specialist Social Work Teams

Within Worcestershire there are two specialist social work teams who support children with permanent and substantial disabilities / complex health needs and their families.

The team for North Worcestershire, which covers Bromsgrove, Redditch and Wyre Forest is based at County Buildings, Windsor Street, Bromsgrove.  

The team for South Worcestershire, which covers Malvern, Worcester City and Wychavon is based at Bridgewater House, Worcester.

Both teams offer support and assessment of need, as well as providing the full range of statutory childcare duties. The primary aim of the teams is to provide supportive care packages based on the assessed needs of the child and family, including the needs of carers and siblings.

In doing this the teams work closely with the child/young person and the family as well as a range of other workers from the statutory and voluntary sector where this is required.

At the present time over 400 children are known to the Social Services Children with Disability Teams and receiving services directly or indirectly.
