The service is currently made of up of 6 sub teams with 6 social workers, 1 advanced social worker, a team manager and service manager. Here on DAT each team is on duty for one week, where you will be allocated new children and families to support and assess. On DAT workers continue intervention with families post C&F assessment until they have had 3 child in need meetings or ICPC has been convened. This means that longer term interventions with families are supported by our child in need and child protection team so families receive a more consistent service.
We are resource rich which helps our workers. This ranges from our bespoke team of family practitioners co-located with the social work teams, dedicated business support alongside minute taking pools to help reduce time spent on admin. We have bespoke Domestic Abuse offer which includes direct work with children, parents and adults that harm and Edge of Care service Route29 who will complete visits and support after working hours and the weekend.
Have a keen interest in an area? Some of our workers are champions in sexual harm, neglect, housing, NRPF and domestic abuse. As a level 2 or 3 social worker we are keen for you to have specialisms or be a ‘champion’ of practice in a certain area.
In Salford, we are interested in you as a person and the practitioner you are or who you aspire to be.
