Advice for social workers

Advice for Social Workers

Although we are unable to attend CIN and CP meetings or work directly with children and families, we are available to talk directly to social workers and advise them on any aspect of education. We will support social workers with the necessary knowledge and understanding of educational issues to enable them to challenge and work with schools effectively.

We can offer advice on educational issues to social workers working with young people aged 0-18. This can include advice, support, guidance and further signposting on:

  • Attainment data
  • Well-being of the young person
  • What to ask schools to put in place to support the young person
  • SEN processes
  • Interventions and strategies for a school to consider when meeting the needs of the young person
  • Attendance and exclusions
  • Timetable variations
  • Local area support systems, external organisations/activities that could support the young person.
