Children and Young People Services

Overview – Children and Young People Services Children and Young People Services provide help to children and young people who are eligible for care and support. These include children requiring support, who are looked after by the Council, who have left care, who have additional needs and /or disabilities or who need to be safeguarded. Families Achieving Change Together (FACT) is part of Families First, a Welsh Government funded programme focused on early intervention and prevention. FACT undertake assessments and then work with families and other professionals to identify and coordinate support, enabling families to make positive changes and to improve outcomes, with the aim of reducing the number of families developing more complex and challenging needs. The Intake and Family Support Team receive referrals and provide information about services available to support children and their families across all sectors. They undertake assessments and develop care and support plans for those where the threshold for statutory intervention is met. The Child Health and Disability Team work with children and families when the child has a significant learning and/or physical and/ or sensory disability that means they need particular help, care and support and families have to meet additional caring responsibilities. The Care Management Team work with children and families in the longer-term to develop and deliver the plan of care and support to meet the child’s and family’s needs. This includes on -going family support, safeguarding children in need of protection from harm, and the legal planning for looking after those children who can no longer be safely cared for within their birth families. The Fifteen Plus Team receive all looked after children’s cases, with the exception of children with disabilities, when the young person reaches 15 years of age where they are allocated a social worker and young person’s adviser. The team has a particular role in helping young people who are leaving care move on to more independent living settings.

The Youth Offending Service (YOS) works with young people aged between 8 and 17 years who are offending or at risk of offending, and the victims of their crime. The YOS deal with a variety of issues including social work, probation, drugs and alcohol abuse, education and health. The Service takes a multi- agency approach in seeking to improve the life opportunities of the young people it works with in order that they can lead offending-free lives. The Placements and Permanency Team works to recruit, assess, train and support local carers to provide foster placements for children who can no longer be looked after by their own families, either in the short term or longer. The team also assess and support a child’s extended family members to look after him/ her under kinship foster care arrangements,. The Vale, Valleys and Cardiff Regional Adoption Collaborative responds to the requirements of the National Adoption Service and brings together the adoption services across Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil, RCT and the Vale of Glamorgan.
