Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust
Are you an experienced Hi Intensity therapist looking to support families to help them remain together? Dorset Council's Safeguarding Families Together team has an opportunity for you. The Safeguarding Families Together (SFT) approach recognises the importance of adult workers to work across the service to support bringing about changes to children and families' lives. SFT is a strength-based model, and a way of working with families so that wherever possible they can stay together, and children can remain safely at home. It helps families identify what changes could be made in their daily life and provides the dedicated support to enable them to achieve this. One of the principles of the service is the use of 'motivational interviewing' techniques to motivate parents to make and maintain changes, reducing the risk of significant harm to children.
