We work with the statutory and voluntary sectors – as well as with parents, children and young people – to promote what works well for our families and to highlight what could be done better. I hope you find our newsletters, meetings and workshops helpful. Do contact us if you would like to come along to occasional meetings and/or receive our mailings.
