Family intervention service (fis)

[elliejjtiny]

Does anyone know what this is it what is involved? We've been under social services since end of February and now we are moving to this. We have an hour meeting online (they call it a step down meeting) but I'm not sure what to expect.

It will depend on your local authority so you'll be better off asking your allocated social worker.

Thank you. The meeting went ok and the FIS person seemed nice. The head teacher at the primary school was really supportive to us and said he had no concerns about the younger 2 dc which was really good. The safeguarding lead at the secondary school didn't come but she sent her apologies and told the social worker she had no concerns which was good. The FIS lady is coming round next week but she anticipates not needing to work with us for long. My main concern was that everything I have read online indicated that FIS was for really chaotic or neglectful families and I thought they would be really judgmental but it wasn't like that thank goodness.

I'm glad the meeting went well for you.
