Welfare Checks
Welfare Checks are used to inspect the wellbeing of a vulnerable child/ren at a specific address.
At Families Contact, our experienced and fully trained team of Family Support Workers carry out Welfare Checks after receiving a referral from a local authority and there is an agreement in place with the referring professional.
Every circumstance is different. So, depending on the referral we receive, our Family Support Workers can make announced or unannounced Welfare Checks. Welfare Checks could take place out of hours or on a specific time and day.
If any significant concerns are raised, we will contact the relevant authorities immediately.
