Family support
Four family centres across Knowsley provide children and
families with help and support to work through difficulties and
find solutions.
Our centres are situated in Halewood and Whiston, Kirkby, Page
Moss, and include a borough-widesupport team.
Do I need to have a social worker to access this support?
Although we are part of the social services department, you
don’t need to have a social worker to receive this support. Support
and activities are available through open access to the
community.
What does the service involve?
We can offer help which includes::
- Help with issues such as self confidence, healthy eating
on a budget, women’s health, domestic violence
- Individual sessions on particular issues such as parenting and
routines
- Life work with children who are 'looked after'
- Supporting and facilitating positive time for contact between
parents and children who are 'looked after’
- Child development sessions for children under 5
