CWC21158 Provision of Key Workers for the Power2 Team

The Power2 Team is a multi-disciplinary, multi-agency partnership between Children’s Social Care, Adult Social Care, Wolverhampton Clinical Commissioning Group, Public Health and the Voluntary Sector. It supports vulnerable young people aged 11-25 at risk of exploitation and family breakdown. The team provides a trauma informed approach enabling vulnerable young people and adults to develop a consistent, non-judgemental, one to one relationship with a case/key worker with the relationship being built on trust and stability. The team has direct access to clinical, welfare and safeguarding professionals alongside direct access to key workers from the voluntary sector, many of which have lived experience which enables them to build authentic relationships with young people. The team members have their own specialisms and expertise and have all been trained in specialist frameworks such as Attachment Theory; Developmental and Relational Trauma; and Attachment, Regulation and Competency. Following a successful pilot project, resources have been made available to the continuation of the Power2 Team.
