Family & Children Support
Our Children & Family Support Worker plays a vital role in supporting children, young people and their non‑abusive parents who have been affected by domestic abuse. The role focuses on helping children feel safe, heard and supported, while promoting emotional wellbeing and healthy development. This includes delivering one‑to‑one and group support tailored to children’s age and needs, helping them understand and process their experiences in a safe and nurturing way. The Children & Family Support Worker also works closely with parents, offering guidance and practical support to strengthen family relationships, rebuild confidence, and support recovery. They collaborate with schools, social care, health services and other professionals to ensure families receive coordinated, child‑centred support.
Above all, the role is rooted in trauma‑informed, empowering practice, helping children and families begin to heal and move forward with confidence and resilience.
