Your dedicated Supervising Social Worker will be available to visit you on a regular basis. You will usually be visited every fortnight but these can be tailored to your needs. Your social worker will also be a constant source of support when you have children in placement and for any meetings that are necessary to support the child or young person. Support is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week when you are able to access telephone support with a social worker.
