Summary:

The service will offer age-appropriate packages of support for teenagers with complex needs, including those already receiving help from social work teams or other professionals. The new service will be multi-disciplinary and will include social work-qualified staff; adolescent specialist practitioners and youth engagement workers who will work in an integrated way with colleagues from health; the police; youth work; youth offending services and housing.

Some packages of support will be led by social workers, others by lead professionals from across the service, including CFN's partners. The service wants good outcomes for young people and for them to be safe; adequately housed and supported (with their families wherever possible); physically and emotionally healthy and achieving good outcomes through education, training or employment.
