When parents request it, Link Workers can make home visits to offer advice and support. They will link the parents and children to appropriate services and in some cases support their attendance. Any department of the Council or partner agency can offer a family a referral to a link worker. The only criteria is that they have at least one child under 5 and live in the Wigan borough. Referral forms are available through the link below and pre-paid envelopes can be obtained from the Family Information Service by contacting their Helpdesk on 01942 828644 or by email at fis@wigan.gov.uk
