Families Empowered are a team of dedicated professionals who place children and their families at the heart of our work. We are proud to be recognised as an 'Outstanding Provider' of Adoption Support Services by Ofsted in March 2023.

With understanding and empathy we offer a range of highly effective therapeutic and training services to support children and their families. We are skilled practitioners immersed in the principles of DDP and PACE, with an extensive background in social work and children’s services. We work with agencies and local authorities, including Barnardo's, Adopt East, Essex, Hertfordshire, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Southend and various London Boroughs.

We are dedicated to improving outcomes for children and have seen how attachment and DDP-led interventions can positively transform the families we work with. From group programmes to individual support, our experienced team can balance the needs of each family within the context of social care. We understand the challenges. We speak the language. We care.
