FFC Family Networks
Introduction
Our vision is that every child’s right to a family life is prioritised wherever possible. Family networks are essential in supporting families to stay together and thrive. When this is not possible, they can themselves offer a safe, loving and stable family home and keep children out of local authority care.
Children and families in Wirral will be supported to identify who in their family network could be a source of support and these networks should be empowered to help and support parents and children when they are struggling. To help with this we will introduce Family Network Support Packages (FNSPs) which will provide practical and financial support to enable family networks to help children stay safe and thrive at home.
Key Features
- Establish family networks as a ‘golden thread’ throughout the reformed system.
- Align family group decision making (FGDM)/conferencing (FGC) with family help and child protection processes.
- Test provision of practical and financial support via Family Network Support Packages (FNSP).
