About bccs

At bccs we believe that every child should be loved and supported. However, some children experience great hardship and suffering - from bereavement to bullying, from anxiety to abuse. bccs provides counselling for children and young adults whose wellbeing, and mental and emotional health, could be at risk.

bccs cares for over 1,600 new children each year and will be caring for around 3,500 at any one time. bccs employs only qualified and dedicated Social Workers and Counsellors to care for these children, which enables us to handle almost any problem that might arise without delay. We work in partnership with over 100 schools and provide our service on site at school. Our unique approach is to intervene as soon as problems are identified and work with the children for as long as it takes to put things right.

We work in partnership with over 100 schools and provide our service on site at these schools. We highly value this partnership as part of our commitment to early intervention; teachers and support staff are ideally placed to spot a child who is experiencing problems and our relationship with them facilitates almost immediate care. Often, we deal with a child’s issues long before any other agency would have processed the administration to enable a child to be cared for.

The schools we partner with are a mix of Secondary and Primary, Catholic and non-Catholic in the county of Essex and the London boroughs of Barking & Dagenham, Havering, Newham, Redbridge and Waltham Forest.

In recent years bccs has increased the number of children we are able to help quite dramatically - our workload has grown hugely. We are undertaking over 50% more sessions with children than five years ago, and as a testament to our work, this growth is entirely due to word of mouth referral and reputation.
