THE HIVE SOLUTION

1.      Make the ‘First Contact’ Assessment more effective.

We believe it is possible, through our protocols to safely reduce the number of interventions and re referrals. Which reduces the burden on services and professionals and gives Children and families a realistic opportunity for life long development.

We are currently reaching out to Local SCB’s that may be interested in Beta Testing a new ‘First Contact Assessment Protocol. Designed to improve the effective support for those referred to social care for assessment.

 The main highlights being:

•  To make the assessment process more accurate and inclusive.
•  To initiate support immediately.
•  To develop trust and communication from the outset.
•  To support families to develop responsibilities.
• To reduce those needing direct interventions.
• To improve the outcomes following interventions.

 2.      Provide effective core skill coaching for ‘life’ to Young People, Carers / Parents, Social Care and Education Professionals.

The Hive have designed the only programmes for purpose: The development of core personal skills, giving all participants a wider base of coping capacities, reducing risks of poor psychological well-being.

 Enabling those most in need to develop confidence, motivation, a sense of self-worth, self-belief and aspiration with the ability to make positive choices for their own futures. Empowering young people to engage and sustain effective, positive connections with professionals, education and other service providers. This will reduce the burden on services in both time & cost, while making a positive long-term difference in the lives of those we coach.  

 3.      Provide all Primary School Pupils with increased awareness and improved coping capacities. The Hive's 'Storytelling with The Mouse' workshop package.
