Family
Team:
Counselling,
Therapeutic
Support
&
Systemic
Practice
The Family Team interventions provide bespoke packages of interventions to families of the boys
attending school. They are designed to meet the individual needs of each family and family members
when they need it. This may be pre-admission, transition, or at any point in their child’s attendance
at WHSS.
The service is fundamentally underpinned by Counselling and Systemic theory and practice, and aims to be
non-judgmental, confidential (where possible), and allow families to develop trust, respect, rapport and
autonomy.
Relationships are built on mutual respect, equality and trust.
The work offers the parents, carers and family members a safe, neutral space in which to explore the
challenges these issues raise and facilitate different, nurturing, effective relationships with their children,
hopefully to reduce some of their barriers to learning, emotionally and academically. The ethos of
positive behaviour support, with a focus on quality of life extends throughout the school, to include our
community of families and carers.
