The Children's First Contact Team (CFCT) is Flintshire County Council's front door to statutory services provided by the Local Authority. We are currently looking for additional staff.

S47 investigations are also coordinated in the Team. This is fast paced work which then moves on quickly to other services or Teams.
Pre Birth Risk assessments and Private Law work through the completion of Child Impact Analysis and Section 7 and Section 37 reports is also held with the CFCT. The role requires knowledge and analytical writing as well as the ability to effectively engage with families.
