Resilient Families
The Service aims to deliver improved support to families in quicker response times; shorter and sharper diagnostic assessment; a trusted single point of contact and pro-active practical support to engage with interventions designed to increase resilience levels.
Referrals can be made to the Service via the Information, Advice and Assistance (IAA) Team in the following way:
- Families can self-refer for Resilient Families Service by phone (01443 425006)
For more information on the Resilient Families Service please contact 01443 281435 or rfs@rctcbc.gov.uk
All referrals will be ‘triaged’ by the IAA Team for allocation according to risk/need. Referrals received by the IAA Team that do not reach Children’s Services threshold but are deemed appropriate for intervention will be allocated to the Resilient Families Service. Emails will be read during office hours only Monday – Friday between 08:30am – 17:00pm.
