Family Support Services

We are a nationwide company, with teams across England and Wales. We take on family support work (FSW) referrals in all areas.

Our Headquarters are based in Hassocks (Near Brighton), West Sussex BN6.

The referral must come from a professional. Typically, local authorities are the service commissioners for family FSW assignments.

Our FSW’s are employees, not contractors, of AG Family Support Ltd. Before starting with us, all FSWs must complete a robust selection, induction and training process with our company. The induction training includes online resources and in-person group training sessions. Our employees also have access to our in-house training resources, including on a number of specialist subjects, such as ‘Understanding and Working with self-harm’, ‘How to effectively manage challenging behaviours in children’, ‘Professional boundaries at work’, ‘Report writing’, and others.

Many of our FSWs are professionals in their own right, and all have prior experience or qualifications in the context of working with children and families. All are exceptionally well supported by our management team and have access to regular training and supervision. All have current, Enhanced DBS checks. Some can speak other languages.

Training and support that our CS’s have access to has been designed by our Directors, Emily and Arthur Gajewski. With their 50 years of combined experience in the areas of social work and mental health, they have ensured that our FSWs have all the tools they need to effectively, safely and responsibly engage with those they come in contact with, in line of their work.

Yes, whenever possible. We understand this is very important to children and families in regard to consistency and professional relationship building.
