Families First is commissioned by Bradford Council to support parents, carers and families with guidance and activities. This service is independent and can support through referrals to external agencies or by providing key worker support for identified difficulties families may be facing.

More information can be found at Bradford Families First | Barnardo's (barnardos.org.uk)

As well as self-referring through the link above, a Families First representative visits school on a regular basis to meet with parents or carers and support with relevant referrals. If you feel you would benefit from this type of support, either email office@immanuel.bdat-academies.org or speak with your child’s Head of House/Year to request an appointment.

Please be aware that Families First is entirely separate and independent from Immanuel College.
