Integrated Services for children, young people and families forms one of four service/function sectors of the Children’s Services Directorate. Integrated Services incorporates all of children’s social care functions and the integrated front line teams. These include educational psychologists, specialist teaching staff, education welfare officers, family support workers, social workers and social work assistants. These teams work in three area bases across the county, offering targeted services to children in need and earlier intervention and support to schools and other settings when problems are identified. Staff are managed within integrated area teams but also have access to professional case supervision and opportunities for support with continuing professional development from within their own individual profession.
There are additional county-wide services providing specialist support and services to looked after and adopted children and children with disabilities and complex health needs. These services also include multi-disciplinary staff groups. This support may be delivered in the home, early years settings, schools and colleges of further and higher education.
