Doncaster Council’s Early Intervention
and Localities Service have been approached by St Wilfred’s
Academy to support the Alternative Provision Specialist Taskforce
Pilot. St Wilfred’s have submitted a successful application
to the Department for Education with a plan which includes
recruitment of a Family Lead Practitioner and an Early Help
Coordinator.
The request is to provide dedicated support in relation to Early
Help (Assess, Plan, Do and Review), case supervision and
coordination of the multi-agency approach.
St Wilfred’s have based this decision on the good practice
they have observed and would like to add additional capacity into
the existing team to support this project.
The Family Lead Practitioner will work directly with families,
undertaking whole family assessments and focusing interventions
around parental needs whilst working closely with school mentors
who will work more directly with the
children. The Early Help Coordinator will provide case supervision
and coordination for all children, young people and families who
access the provision.
Both posts will sit within the existing service and line management
responsibilities will be held by an Early Help Pathway
Lead.
