In their words
Family group meetings are currently being developed in Knowsley with particular emphasis on families where education is a primary concern. Here is what some parents have said about their experience:
“I was very surprised that my family could actually sit down and discuss the situation. I never thought we would be able to do that”. Mother of four children
“Everybody was willing to help us with our problems – no bickering. It was great”. Mother of three children
“We thought nothing would change. The family group meeting was brilliant”. Father of four
This year Interplay had a participation day where families, children & young people came together with Barnardo’s and Youth & Community Staff for a fun day of activities. This is what some of them said about the service:
“It gives my son a chance to mix in a social group. He keeps himself to himself but he is still involved”.
“Southdene do a lot for the children. The staff are in constant contact with us. They know what rules I have at home and make sure they are also enforced at the club. I love it!
