Family Safeguarding


Walsall Children's Social Care have adopted the Family Safeguarding Model with support from the 'Strengthening Families, Protecting Children Programme' and investment from the Department for Education.

This has involved creating Family Safeguarding Teams that include Social Workers, and Specialist Practitioners to support parents experiencing domestic abuse, mental health problems or drug and alcohol misuse.

In addition, we offer a tailored programme of support and intervention, with all work being centred on Motivational Interviewing skills and more effective case recording through the workbook.

All staff will receive training in the model and support in its implementation.


The model has been in place for over 2 years, and we are really starting to see the difference, with Ofsted reporting that they saw exceptional practice from social workers, which helps children's experience improve and supports families to make positive improvements in their lives.

As a result of this, our numbers of children supported by a child protection plan have reduced by half and children entering care have reduced by 30%.

This is just one of a few new and innovative approaches we are implementing to do things differently.
