Residential Family Assessment Centre: Support We Offer

Our In-House Intervention Programs: We recognise that every family has its own culture, traditions, beliefs and experiences. Our parenting programme is designed to build on a family’s strengths while helping them understand parenting and safeguarding expectations in the UK. We will work with them, not judge them. During their stay, they may take part in the following sessions:

– Parenting Across Cultures:
  • Sharing your family’s culture, traditions and values.
  • Understanding different parenting approaches.
  • Parenting in the UK while respecting your cultural identity.
  • We address issues of physical chastisement and emotional abuse through inappropriate punishments.
  • Circumstances where belief, religion and culture are superseding the safety of children.
  • Newly arrived and first-generation migrants who are settled in the UK but do not understand the UK child protection system.
– Understanding Safeguarding:
  • What safeguarding means.
  • How everyone works together to keep children safe.
  • Your rights and responsibilities as a parent.
  • Parents who struggle to navigate the nuances of the UK child protection system.
  • Parents leaving children at home alone or where older children are undertaking the parental responsibilities.
