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.
