The Child Care Centre is a community based childrens residential unit The
service provided is strictly confined to the north inner city communities around us
here in Amiens street.
Since its inception in 1981 the Child Care Centre has offered an holistic
approach to the care of boys and girls from Dublins North Inner City. We are
attempting to take care of the children in the context of their overall environment
through maintaining all the crucial links in their lives.of critical importance is the
childrens involvement and connection to their family of origin and the community
to which they belong.
We seek to develop more positive relationships between the child and the family
and to assist the family in finding a more satisfactory level of functioning in terms
of the care of all of its members.
A strong emphasis is placed on links with parents and families in the work and on
aiming to enable the child and the family to move forward sufficiently to allow the
childs return home at some point in the future.
We have five places available for boys and girls from the north inner city whose
family situation may be severely deficient or functioning at such a low level that
the childs removal to some alternative caring arrangement is strongly indicated.

Geographical Area Covered by Service: We cover Dublin North Central, what

Age Groups Covered By Your Service: Family Support Workers work mostly with
families who have young children however, the ages presently range from birth to
16-17.
What are the specific services that you provide?
We provide home based practical support to families and empower and enable
them to sustain the care of their children and maximise their potential to do so.
We work with families to build on strengths to find realistic and practical solutions
to identified problems. A key aspect of the work is encouraging families to
develop contacts within their community. It is essential for the FSWs to build and
maintain links with community agencies. A Family Support Worker is allocated
for each family by the Coordinator who attempts to match the worker best suited
to the needs of each family.
How do young people/families access your service?
Some families feel they are in need of this service and will approach a
professional who may be working with the family to make the referral. Some
families are requested to avail of the service due to recognised concerns or may
be in agreement that the intervention of a FSW could prevent their situation from
worsening. We would ask that families are made aware and are in agreement of
any referral made to this service and the reasons for referral. At present, there is
a waiting list. Referrals where there is a Child Protection concern will always take
priority.
How are young people/families referred to your service?
The majority of referrals to our service come from Social Work Department and
Public Health Nursing. We have also taken referrals Home School Community
Liaisons, Mater CAMHS, other services, and on occasion, Self Referrals. The
referrer must be willing to remain involved with the Family and the FSS and will
be expected to maintain contact with the FSW on a regular basis to monitor and
review progress. There is a referral form and information on the Service which
can be obtained by contacting the Coordinator. Before making a referral, it is
best to contact the Coordinator to discuss the appropriatness of the referral
(there may be another service better suited to the needs of the family) and to
enquire about the waiting list.
