CWC21158 Provision of Key Workers for the Power2 Team

The Power2 Team is a multi-disciplinary, multi-agency partnership between Children’s Social

Care, Adult Social Care, Wolverhampton Clinical Commissioning Group, Public Health and

the Voluntary Sector. It supports vulnerable young people aged 11-25 at risk of exploitation

and family breakdown. The team provides a trauma informed approach enabling vulnerable

young people and adults to develop a consistent, non-judgemental, one to one relationship

with a case/key worker with the relationship being built on trust and stability. The team has

direct access to clinical, welfare and safeguarding professionals alongside direct access to

key workers from the voluntary sector, many of which have lived experience which enables

them to build authentic relationships with young people. The team members have their own

specialisms and expertise and have all been trained in specialist frameworks such as

Attachment Theory; Developmental and Relational Trauma; and Attachment, Regulation and

Competency. Following a successful pilot project, resources have been made available to

the continuation of the Power2 Team.
