SAFE Service
SAFE (Supportive Action for Families in Ealing) provides holistic and integrated support for children, young people and their families.
Focusing on prevention and early intervention, the teams respond quickly to those showing early signs of vulnerability, thereby reducing the likelihood of them needing additional services in the future.
The aim is to:
-
co-ordinate responses across agencies for vulnerable children and young people, providing services in multi-agency teams
-
provide neighbourhood based services, working in a more collaborative, community-based way
Other key roles for SAFE teams include:
-
Supporting services in identifying and managing risk, and acting as a bridge between to specialist services
-
Working closely with and providing information about other services in the local area such as the voluntary and community sector, sports clubs, holiday clubs, faith groups
-
Providing information and advice to families
To deliver their work, the service uses Every Child Matters mandated processes, including the Common Assessment Framework (CAF) and Information Sharing .
The service consists of five teams – four quadrant-based teams for children under 12 and a central based team for young people aged 12 -19.
