ISPCC ChildlineISPCC

The ISPCC provides a free, comprehensive, community-based one-to-one support service to children and young people who may be experiencing emotional and behavioural difficulties. This is provided by professional ISPCC support workers. The service in Wicklow particularly targets children and young people between the ages of 10 and18 years who are at increased risk of harm due to drug or alcohol misuse. The risk may be identified due to their own experimental use of drugs or alcohol, their involvement with known users, a family history of drug or alcohol use or the fact that they are living in an area of known disadvantage making them potentially more at risk of drug or alcohol use.

Meitheal, Tusla Child and Family AgencyMeitheal process for children and young people co-ordinated by Tusla Child and Family Support Network Co-Ordinators

Meitheal is a case co-ordination process for families with additional needs who require multi-agency intervention but who do not meet the threshold for referral to the Social Work Department under Children's First. Practioneers in different agencies can use and lead on Meitheal so that they can communicate and work together more effectively to bring together a range of expertise, knowledge and skills to meet the needs of the child and family within the community.
