Freedom Program

The Freedom Programme examines the roles played by attitudes and beliefs on the actions of abusive men and the responses of victims and survivors.

The aim is to help them to make sense of and understand what has happened to them, instead of the whole experience just feeling like a horrible mess.

The Freedom Programme also describes in detail how children are affected by being exposed to this kind of abuse and very importantly how their lives are improved when the abuse is removed.

Now running The Freedom Programme with trained facilitators for more information please call us, in complete confidence on 02088909355 or email: info@c4f.co.uk

or drop into the centre to speak to our staff for more information

PAMS

PAMS has been developed to present complex information within a format that interfaces well with the Framework for the Assessment of Children in Need and Their Families (DoH, 2000), the Common Assessment Framework (CAF) for children and young people (DCSF, 2010) and Working Together to Safeguard Children (DfE, 2015, 2018). PAMS can be used as a screening tool or as a comprehensive specialist assessment that is central to the identification and targeting of support required by those families where parents or children have additional and/or complex needs.

PAMS can simplify the measurement of parental capacity especially when this involves the uptake, maintenance or generalisation of parenting skills. Also, PAMS consolidates the assessment data automatically into template reports to help the assessor in their report writing.
