The Haringey Anchor Approach

The Haringey Anchor Approach:

• supports an increase in child and family resilience
• builds stable communities using a common language
• empowers parents, carers and professionals to work together
• uses tools and language in the home, schools and other settings to reduce school and home breakdown, reducing harm and increasing social inclusion
• equips adults to invest in healthy parent/ child relationships for improved social, emotional and mental wellbeing
• increases confidence of parents/carers to share knowledge of their children and successful strategies with professionals
• upholds the rights of children, listening to them

Our model of working

The Anchor Approach has three defined strands to build resilience and wellbeing:

1. Meeting bio-social (growth) needs
2. Managing self - considering our responses to others
3. Managing the environment - considering how the environment could be adapted
