• Enhance parenting skills and knowledge of specific issues where relevant

• Support and advocate with families/young people with other services such as medical appointments, schools etc.

• Liaise and refer to other services where appropriate and with client’s consent

• Provide a friendly and confidential environment to discuss concerns.

range of skills and experience that assist them in supporting clients.
