One child dies from rabies every 10 minutes. Most victims are under the age of 15. Rabies is 100% fatal, but entirely vaccine preventable. Children just need the right information to protect themselves. WVS established Mission Rabies, a campaign that aims to eliminate rabies for good, in 2013. We have worked hard to reach 9.6 million children worldwide, but around half of the world’s 2 billion children at this age still live in rabies endemic countries.

This may include partnership working with other organisations providing services to families on your caseload, developing and maintaining effective professional relationships with other staff across Gaddum and with other professionals involved in family care (Kentown Support, CCN Team, CSC, schools, etc).
• Participation in the day-to-day running of Gaddum’s services in the Kentown Support Service. Using appropriate networks to raise awareness of the service within statutory, voluntary, and independent organisations. Supporting social work and other trainee placements when necessary.
• Provision of practical and emotional support to families that have been referred into the service, signposting and referring to local provision where appropriate. Also, liaising with and working alongside existing support groups.
• Adherence to record keeping and monitoring needs of the service. Maintaining privacy and confidentiality in line with Gaddum’s policies and procedures.
