The vulnerable team in Walsall delivers a 0–19 skill-mixed approach to families living in temporary accommodation

It has been identified that all children living in temporary accommodation in Walsall, West Midlands, England, require significant targeted and specialist interventions. Most children and families require support with GP, dental registration, or parent or child referrals to mental health services. Therefore, assessments require partnership working with other professionals across the borough. Due to the vulnerability of the families (such as language barriers or lack of parental education), the Walsall Health Visiting Service Vulnerable Team supports parents with translating letters or liaison with services on their behalf.
