NSPCC in Warwickshire receives £47,500 grant from the Grand Charity
New approach to child protection
The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in Warwickshire has obtained a £47,500 grant from the Grand Charity for a new approach to detecting and preventing abuse of young children.
The grant is for the salary of a clinical psychologist, who will head up the implementation of the New Orleans Intervention Model, which works with infants under five years old who are in care, aiming to safely reunify them with their biological parents where possible.
The aim is to protect and promote the mental health of infants by working with their key care relationships, including both biological parents and foster carers.
