This team provides intensive planned intervention, assessment, and support during pregnancy to parents where support needs and/ or risks have been identified, the key requirement for a referral to the team, being that there are no children in the care of parents so this means that parents may have older children who have been removed from their care. The aim of the team is to assess, provide support, safety plan and risk manage the safeguarding needs of the unborn baby including initiating care proceedings. The team work closely with Midwifery and other partner agencies to ensure a coordinated approach and there is ample opportunity for multi agency working. The Pre-Birth Team is a small, specialist team that has developed since 2017 with the main aim to ensure appropriate planning during the pre-birth stage. Due to the nature and complexity of the work, you would carry a small case load and work with the families until point of transfer following birth.
