Specific attention is given to those families where child protection concerns exist, to families with ongoing health and welfare problems and/or families in once off or occasioanal crisis situations.
This service identifies the needs of parents and children in the areas.
It specifically focuses on improving parenting skills and child/parent relationships in order to reduce subsequent difficulties with children such as early school leavers, anti-social behaviour, etc.
It works in partnership with other agencies to develop targeted programmes for specific packages of intervention for highly at risk older children and for children involved in anti-social behaviour.
It provides services to vulnerable children and their families and the wider community that have a primary preventative focus.
