Community & Family Services
Social Work students from local universities can undertake a placement at Baycroft and work within the Pastoral Service. They work closely with families and tutor team to enable students to access school, mentoring, one to one support and joint working with a variety of professionals.
They are supervised by Richard Broadhurst (Assistant Head and Designated Safeguarding Lead). Their placement in Baycroft is for either 70 or 100 days. This increases the capacity of RISE, our Pastoral Support Team. Social Work students are learning about how to work with children and families and are not working for Children Services Department (Social Services).
