**Main Duties**:
The direct work with children and young people follows a general pattern that must be tailored to the particular needs and requirements for each individual. This pattern involves 3 main areas;

- Meet with the parent(s) or other relative(s) of the child or young person to ensure that family contact is continuing, to seek their co-operation in achieving social and educational targets, to ensure that home leave is viable and to assist the linkage between the school’s work and the area team social worker’s tasks.
