SF Care

SF Care provides a wide range of services as part of child support plans, public law and private law proceedings and we pride ourselves on our quality, flexibility and robust quality assurance practices. Here at SF Care, we have a clear and unambiguous commitment to Social Care Services and we are excited by opportunities to enhance both service delivery and the life chances of those we serve. It

is imperative that we develop and maintain trust and confidence with our children, their families, our communities, professional partners and stakeholders; and that we move forward with a clear focus on protective, caring & educational outcomes. To this end, we contend that customers who need our assistance are the 'product of’ and not the 'problem in' our community and that our attitudes and behaviours toward customers should reflect our qualified professional standards. We are committed to a consistent customer centred provision and believe in the ethic of 'active choice', and where possible, customer consultation & participation rather than institutional direction. SF Care imbedded the ‘signs of safety’ approach enhanced and guided by Munro’s maxim – that “Social Workers need to demonstrate that alternative provisions have been considered. Thinking critically, fostering a stance of inquiry and ensuring that this is demonstrated in their analysis. Reference to research should support this analysis and needs to be seen to be proportionate and relevant to the circumstance”.
