The aim of this innovative project is to achieve positive outcomes for children and to keep families together.
Since the project began, over 1000 children have been supported by our volunteers. Over the past two years approximately one third of the children who were subject to a child protection plan when they were referred to the project were removed from the plan during the volunteer's involvement.
Because volunteers keep in touch and continue to support families once Social Care teams have withdrawn, the chances of children going back on the register are greatly reduced.
