Barnardo's

Barnardo’s approach to achieve better outcomes for children, young people and families is built on relationships and working holistically to meet their needs. Barnardo’s can support young people on a 1-1 basis within the school and out with the school gates working with the whole family.

Support offered will focus on mental health and wellbeing, substance use, domestic abuse, poverty etc. Barnardo’s can facilitate group work, either our own bespoke groups based on the needs of the young people or programmes such as Seasons for Growth, LIAM, Mellow etc. There are no timescales on support, each young person/families circumstances are different and will be looked at on an individual basis. Support is delivered where possible throughout the year including school holidays as we recognise the impact on children, young people and families when school is not available.

Barnardo’s currently carry out group work and 1-1 sessions with pupils in Irvine Royal Academy every Tuesday.
