“Education Assist” package a welcome development
The announcement of a package of measures designed to improve the responsiveness of Child Youth and Family (CYF)when schools make contact to express concern about the wellbeing of children, has been welcomed by Barnardos.
“Given their frontline role with children and families, a dedicated calling line for teachers is a sensible move, with the potential to greatly improve two-way communication between schools and CYF,” said Barnardos General Manager Child and Family Services, Mike Munnelly.
“A service like this will not be the panacea that stops all child abuse, but it is certainly helpful to improve the communication and information flow between schools and the statutory child protection agency for the benefit of chidren and young people,” concluded Mr Munnelly.
