Barnardo’s Family Support Team

the Barnardo's Family Support Team service building

Barnardo’s Family Support Team is an equal opportunities project, which provides community based support for families from any culture which include a child or young person who has a significant learning disability, within the age range of 0-19 years and catchment area of Dundee.

In partnership with Dundee City Council Social Work Department, the project aims to provide a range of individualised support to children and young people with significant learning disabilities and their families, which will:

  • promote the growth, development and well being of each child or young person.
  • build on the strength of each family; develop its existing support network and the potential for support from within the local neighbourhood.
  • offer choices to the child/young person and family.
  • respond quickly to a child/young person or family's changing needs.
