ACTION
Family Partners, run by charity Action for Children, is an intensive family support project with a number of aims: keeping children out of care; helping parents into work; reducing children's involvement in crime; making parents more confident; and addressing families' mental health problems.
Local agencies, such as schools, health visitors and social workers make referrals if they are concerned that children may be showing early signs of neglect that are below child protection thresholds. Over 22 weeks, family partners works with the family to address problems they may be facing.
The first phase, which lasts for four weeks, is about engaging the family.
