ACTION
Set up last year by the council in response to a rising demand for these services, Family Support aims to improve joined-up working for those supporting vulnerable families.
The service has been specifically designed to help understand and counteract the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and how they impact on a child's brain development.
It recognises that most children and young people in the borough receiving intensive social care packages or in contact with the criminal justice system will have experienced early life trauma.
Family Support has two main objectives: to provide universal services to support children within the first 1,000 days of their life; and to mitigate the impact of early life trauma rather than manage the behaviour caused by it.
