Carmarthenshire Team Around the Family (TAF) - Family support services

What we do

TAF is a way of working that brings agencies together to deliver a plan of support to a family, child or young person up to the age of 25. All Families First projects work with a TAF approach. The Joint Assessment Family Framework (JAFF) – a standardised assessment tool is completed with families. It is used for planning actions and to demonstrate improved outcomes. A TAF Key Worker from any project can take the lead role, working with families so that services are co-ordinated and meet the family’s needs. The TAF Team facilitate this approach:
• TAF Co-ordinators allocate or facilitate a package of support.
• TAF Direct Workers work directly with families towards an identified outcome.
