The Family Support Team is made up of a Family Support Coordinator and 2 Family Link workers. The team provide a safe space for parents / families to talk about their needs and concerns. The team provides one to one support as well as groupwork opportunities that help strengthen skills and experience of Traveller families to tackle the issues they are facing. The team can help set up a ‘Meitheal’ that brings all releveant services together in one place to support families.

- Problems at School
- Health conditions / Disabilities
