Description
Ask anyone who had a hard time as a child. Most will name one adult who helped them through it. A teacher, a neighbour, a support worker who kept turning up. Our Family Support Worker Training teaches you to be that adult.
With proper family support worker training, you stop guessing at what a home needs. Next, you learn how to weigh up a family and keep children safe. You also learn what the law asks of you. Above all, our course shows you where your job ends and a specialist steps in.
