Many of the children and young people we work with are under the care of the local authority. This is a continually expanding area of work as we respond to urgent needs for help and solutions for looked-after children. Many of these calls from social services arrive late in the day, as plans for a child’s or young person’s care and education are concluded.
Working in collaboration with a variety of social care providers, we strive to respond quickly to crisis-driven support requests. Our services are classified as Targeted and Tailored help in Hertfordshire Council’s tiered approach to children with a social worker.
We collaborate closely with the brokerage accommodation teams to devise solutions to both scheduled and emergency scenarios, as well as in a variety of other ways:
If you’re experiencing a breakdown in your family dynamic, FYP can help. You will meet with one of our qualified counsellors, who will provide confidential and non-judgemental support, and who will encourage everyone who comes to have their say and to share their feelings.
We will allow everyone to talk through what’s happening, what you’d like to change, and create a customised plan to decide what happens next.
Family sessions are different for everyone, and our qualified staff will help you build stronger relationships, work together as a team, and recreate a family dynamic that benefits you all.
While it is our goal to provide a successful experience for everyone, these sessions depend on the unique needs and participation of your family.

Foster Placement is an incredibly difficult adjustment. FYP offers 24/7 support for youth experiencing difficulties with placement. It is our first priority to support youth during and after this transition by working closely with local authorities, caregivers, family, and social workers. Our caregiving community supports these efforts being available any time, day or night to ensure the youth we partner with are given the tools and resources they need to maintain a thriving emotional and mental state.

When the family dynamic changes, it is important for children to have the ability to maintain relationships with family that may now no longer share a home with them.
Our supervised contact meetings are mediated by trained service providers on our team.
Our aim with these meetings is to eliminate the barriers that prevent constructive communication.
FYP caregivers are able to assist with practical matters-such as arranging transportation schedules and after school care. We also assist with more emotionally charged situations and help provide strategies that rebuild trust.

If you’re experiencing heavier problems as a family, we can help with those too. We have a variety of highly qualified staff that are trained to assist in a number of situations, from crisis intervention, to family breakdowns and more. Whatever your family is going through, FYP can help. We aim to give families the tools to communicate better, reduce conflict and grow stronger. Children especially can pick up on conflict, and it affects them in ways they may struggle to express. Family support will empower them and let everyone involved share their feelings in a safe space and judgment free environment. Working together towards a common goal and resolution that benefits all.

“We have been lucky enough to work with Chloe, Connor, Ben, Maxine and Jemma for the past academic year as they were supporting a child with severe trauma in my class. As a team they have been absolutely fantastic to work along side. When they first met the child, they all made an effort to get to know him and find out his likes, dislikes and things which he enjoyed doing […] At the start of their support, the child was rarely in the classroom and would not engage with work but with fantastic support and mentoring from the team by the end of their time with us he was in the classroom for the majority of the school day and he was feeling much more part of the classroom environment.”
