Each mum is partnered with a dedicated Motherwell Support Worker for both emotional and practical support. The Support Worker helps the mum understand and deal with whatever stage of the social care process they are in.
They accompany the mum to all levels of social care meetings from Core Groups to Looked After Review Meetings, offering support and advice where needed.
Our Believe support worker attended 758 meetings or calls from January – September 2020, which was one of the toughest periods for our Believe mums as the first Covid-19 lockdown occurred.
Positive feedback following meetings:
“Thank you so much for coming with me – I felt heard for the first time. They usually ignore me!!” KH
“I’m really glad you talked to me about what to expect in the meeting. I didn’t feel as nervous.” SG
