The run up to Christmas hasn’t eased the workload of key services and organisations supporting children, young people and families. A lot of colleagues we have spoken with are under more pressure to support families at this time of the year with practical and emotional support. Please have a look through this edition of ‘FYI’ and, if there is anything that may be of use to you, your colleagues or families with whom you work, then be sure to pass on this vital information.

Our next edition, and the last issue of 2024, will be on Thursday 5th December, so please make sure any submissions for inclusion are with us by Tuesday 3rd December.
