Children and Family Wellbeing Service (CFW) is part of Lancashire County Councils Education and Childrens Services. It offers early help and support to children young people aged 0-19yrs (25yrs for young people with special educational needs and disabilities) and their families across Lancashire.
The service is committed to minimising the impact of any disadvantage for Lancashire children by working with them their families and communities as early as possible enabling them to get the right support in the right way at the right time. The service responds as early as possible when a child young person or family needs support and this helps to prevent concerns escalating. By working together with the child and family we can provide an enhanced level of practical support to address needs directly.
Sometimes our workers meet with individuals or families on a one-to-one basis and sometimes they bring children young people and families together in groups. We focus on strengths and protective factors and build a positive relationship with children and family members where their voice is heard and they feel listened to. Our core aim is to work better together with our multi-agency early help partners across all areas in Lancashire to ensure that Children young people and their families are safe healthy and achieve their full potential. Early Help is fundamental to achieving this vision
