Prior to initiating a referral to Tidal Family Support, take some time to understand Tidal Family Support and our goal of assisting families during periods of change. Get to know our team, visit our website, and review the services we provide.
At Tidal Family Support, below are two examples of the types of contact:
– A higher level of support where a trained supervisor is present throughout the session. This is used when there are safeguarding concerns, or when contact needs to be closely monitored to ensure the child’s well-being.
– A safe, neutral space where contact can take place with light-touch support from a contact worker. This is often suitable when there’s no significant risk to the child, but communication between adults may still be challenging.
Check to see whether the services we offer are appropriate for your circumstances. Feel free to get in touch with our Senior Leadership Team for more details and advice if you’re unsure.
You will find this below Please email it to the Centre Manager at info@tidalfamilysupport.org.uk.
This form is designed to help understand the families background in greater depth, ensuring we provide the most appropriate support.
Following receipt of your referral form, the senior Leadership Team will review all of the information you have submitted. If we agree to accept your referral, we will contact you to go over the next steps, address any questions you may have, and provide you details about our procedure.
We will ask for you as the referrer, to complete the necessary terms and conditions paperwork with the service user (s). Tidal will meet with the relevant Foster Carer/Carer and a pre-visit will be completed for the child/children in their care.
After the meeting, we will work with you collaboratively to create a tailored plan for contact. This plan will outline the frequency, duration, and specific details for the contact sessions.
With the plan in place, contact will commence at Tidal Family Support or in the community. Our dedicated staff will ensure a safe and neutral space for positive interactions between children and their families for whom they do not live with.
