Social workers are for practical support. If your family are navigating the way through different or changing benefit entitlements, negotiating with a school about entitlements for your child or working your way through the courts or any other systems that seem confusing, a social worker can help this make sense and lend a bit of a helping hand or a pointer in the right direction.
