As we move into autumn, we will continue to promote advice and support services for families who are more adversely affected by the cost of living crisis.  Please make sure to share these with families with whom you work. We also welcome all information which may benefit children, young people and families, so please keep us informed of such services.

Views are being sought on the recommendations of the report of the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care Services in Northern Ireland, conducted by Professor Ray Jones. Responses are welcome from anyone with an interest in or views on the subject covered by this consultation, so please respond if relevant – See page 20 for further details.

 As usual, please submit any flyers or information to us by close of play on the Tuesday before ‘FYI’ is released.

The sun is out so, of course, it must be Back To School time! We have included links to great resources on pages 34 and 36 to help parents and children at this important time.

On page 29 there is a link to the recently published report from the Mental Health Champion: “Factors Affecting Mental Health and Wellbeing in Children and Young People in Northern Ireland”. This gives the findings of a recent study of children and young people which is essential reading for parents, caregivers and professionals. We hope you can take the time to read it!
