We are keen for parents/carers to be involved in all aspects of the life and work of the Family Centre.  We start this journey together during your child’s ‘Home Visit’ prior to commencing their place at Hazeldene Family Centre.  Two members of Centre staff will visit you and your child at home – one to assist you in completing necessary Induction paperwork and the other to engage with your child where they are most comfortable – their own home!

We will introduce you to your child’s Personal Care Plan – see link below:

Feeling Seen At Hazeldene – Personal Care Plan

This is where we can learn all about you and your child and any specific needs or requirements to ensure we meet all of their wellbeing needs in order to ‘Get It Right For Every Child’

There are eight wellbeing indicators at the heart of the GIRFEC approach, commonly known as the ‘SHANARRI Wellbeing indicators’:
• safe
• healthy
• achieving
• nurtured
• active
• respected
• responsible
• included

These wellbeing indicators help make it easier for children and families, and the people working with them, to discuss how a child is doing at a point in time and if there is need for support. The GIRFEC approach and wellbeing indicators underpins the approach to personal planning for children. Each child is unique, and their wellbeing is influenced by children’s individual experiences and changing needs as they develop.
