SUPPORT FOR PARENTS & FAMILIES
We believe that in order to support children, we must ensure that they have a solid support system at home. That’s why we also provide services to the parents and wider families of children. This includes support into employment, child contact centres, parental conflict sessions, vitamins for expectant mothers, and e-learning courses.
Family Time
Our Family Time services provide a safe and supportive environment for children, parents and carers to spend time together.
Accident Prevention e-Learning
This training course is designed to raise the awareness of parents, carers, and practitioners of the causes of childhood accidents. This free eLearning course teaches how to reduce risks and keep children safe.
