The focus of the team will be working with key professionals \(mainly social workers, foster carers, and residential workers\) to deliver therapeutic programmes, not directly, but through these key professionals\. Some direct therapeutic work with children and young people will also be required, and this will be of such a volume that staff will retain their professional registration\.
