As you may have noticed, we have tweaked the design of ‘FYI’ to keep it user-friendly, including a new logo. Hope you like it!

We have included the reports for our Family Support Hubs, both regionally and in the Southern Area. These are on page 3 and give a very detailed breakdown of the nature of referrals to the hub over the past year.

Pages 27 to 29 introduce the Emotional Wellbeing Teams in Schools if you have not yet heard of them. They have great resources now to help support young people, parents/carers and teaching staff on the emotional wellbeing of young people.

Hope you find this edition useful!

So, Summer has come and gone, in the blink of an eye! Back to school and we hope we have been able to reflect just some of the support and opportunities available for children, young people and their parents/carers.

Our Locality Planning Groups have resumed meeting this morning (5th September) in Armagh and will operate at full speed throughout the rest of the year. We welcome anyone working or volunteering to improve outcomes for children & young people and we’ll be delighted to tell you more, if you are interested.  Dates for the next meetings are on the second last page, as always.

 See you later in September!

This is our second largest ever edition of ‘FYI’, so thank you so much for submitting so much great information and keep it coming! We keep submissions in ‘FY’I for one edition, unless requested, so please let us know if you want to avail of this opportunity.

We are delighted to include our Action Plan Report on Page 3 which tells you how productive our Locality Planning Groups and our Team has been over the last 3 years. During this time, we were still experiencing the impact of COVID, so our outcomes have been remarkable in such challenging times.
