Children & Families Social Work Teams

The Assessment Team and continued Support Teams for the East and West of Moray have been combined to form one team for the East and one for the West.

Based at Beechbrae Education Centre, Elgin, the Assessment section will typically ensure that an identified Team around the Child has been established; they will, on a multi-agency basis, complete a National Risk Assessment, using the recognised National Framework, starting as soon as practical in each case, and completing within a maximum of twelve weeks.  Individual and discrete assessment will follow according to the needs/demands of the case; following assessment, there will follow a short term planned piece of work, or, if longer term needs for support/intervention are identified.  Staffing within the teams consists of Senior Social Workers, Social Workers, Family Support workers and admin support.
