Family Support Services Survey

Posted on by

Focusing on families is your chance to share your views and ideas on improving family support services in Northern Ireland. 

This survey will inform the family support strategy in Northern Ireland, and we want to hear the views of children, young people and parents/carers as well as practitioners. This short, anonymous survey covers five key areas:

  • Purpose of family support services
  • Core values
  • Most valued types of support
  • Future service models
  • Making a difference to families

Children and Family Charter – Tell us what you think

Posted on by

We want to create a Children and Family Charter for Northern Ireland to help children, young people and families understand their rights, know what to expect from services and support staff to work in the best way for them. 

The model for the Children and Family Charter is based on four key parts:

  • Standards
  • Support
  • Share
  • Speak up

By taking part in the survey, young people can help shape how the Charter is made and shared.

Questions? Email: info@statsandstories.co.uk 

This consultation is open to anyone who may have a view — including children, young people, parents, carers, staff, professionals, and policymakers.
We particularly encourage you to share this with children, young people, and parents/carers.

An invitation to families to participate in ADHD-focused and Autism/Learning Disability-focused Parent Programmes this Summer

Posted on by

The Changing Lives Initiative: Flourish & Thrive project will be delivering two parent group programmes over the summer to support families of a child/ children with behaviours consistent with ADHD and/ or Autism/ Learning Disability.

Starting in early July and over August, we will be delivering a number of these two group programmes, Parents Plus (online) and Triple P Stepping Stones (in person). We welcome individual parents, co-parents, carers, foster parents and grandparents wishing to participate in the programmes. It isn’t necessary for your child to have a formal diagnosis for you to take part.

The programmes are a great opportunity to meet other families, gain some support and learn additional skills and strategies. Even for parents who have previously completed a programme, it is a good opportunity to gain some support and refresh skills.
