It is for those where 10 to 14 year olds are abusive or violent toward adults close to them. In particular, their parents or carers.
Its focus is to:
- empower all those involved to take an active role to address the abuse;
- and adopt respectful strategies to manage conflict within the family.
Commitment and Structure
We expect those who take part to engage in 12 weekly sessions. Some of these will be for parents and others for the child or young person. In some cases, other household members may also take part.
What to Expect
Supportive Keyworker
You will be assigned a keyworker to guide and support you throughout the programme. They will offer valuable insights and practical ways to help improve family dynamics.
Flexible Session Arrangements
All sessions will be scheduled in advance to accommodate work, caring and such and can take place at:
- the family home;
- an agreed place away from the home;
- or at the young person's school or place of education.
Referrals to the Programme
These are made by professionals through the Early Intervention Panel. If you believe this could benefit your family, discuss it with a professional involved in your or your child's care. This could be a school representative or your GP.
