Work with Schoolchildren

The priority of the Children, Schools and Families Service of Hertfordshire County Council is to stop, at the earliest stage in a child’s life, those factors that may result in the child:

a) living in an unsafe family
b) suffering poor health
c) underachieving at school
d) turning to crime or drug/alcohol abuse
e) suffering as a result of poverty

Social workers, health workers and education welfare advisors from the Children, Schools and Families Service work closely with Dacorum’s Primary Care Trust, the police, the Borough Council, the Youth Offending Team and drugs charity, Druglink. Ring them on 01438 737500 for information and counselling on the following subjects:

a) Child protection, fostering, adoption and shared care
b) Divorce, domestic violence and family problems
c) Permitted employment and work permit applications
d) Drug abuse and problems with sexual behaviour
e) Physical or mental health problems
f) Disabilities
g) Support for school leavers
h) Support for young parents up to the age of 18
