The Barnardo's Family Life Skills Service is funded by Families First Denbighshire.

The Family Life Skills Service engages and works with families who have children aged 0-18, offering bespoke support in a number of ways, including direct work with parents/ carers and children, group work, and signposting to other agencies.

Families will be supported to:

• Feel more positive, confident and well

• Look after their children’s health

• Have good relationships

• Control risky or damaging behaviour

• Use positive parenting techniques

• Cope better with their own challenges

• Live in good homes

• Deal better with money matters

• Learn and study together

Once we have received your referral we will make contact and go through some paper work such as GDPR, EDI form and Information Sharing. Following this we will arrange an assessment to get to know more about you and your family.

# data[].attributes.body
The assessment is called a STAR Assessment and there are two types, a Family STAR and a Child STAR. The following topics are covered:-

Child

Physical Health

Where you Live

Being Safe

Development

Relationships

Feelings and Behaviour

Disability

Friends

Confidence and Self-Esteem

Education and Learning

Family

Physical Health

Your Wellbeing

Meeting Emotional Needs

Keeping Your Children Safe

Development

Social Networks

Education and Learning

Disability

Boundaries and Behaviour

Family Routine

Home and Money

Progress to Work

The assessment can take up to 1 hour so grab a cuppa and put your feet up.

# data[].attributes.body
The next step is to make an action plan with you based on what has been learnt. The action plan will be specific to yours and your family's needs. The action plan will be reviewed every 6 weeks where we can see if progress has been made or if any adjustments need to be made.

# data[].attributes.body
From the action plan we work with you to determine the best way for you to achieve your outcomes. We can work with you on an individual basis to provide bespoke session plans. We can also work with you on a group basis where you benefit from peer support. We facilitate groups such as Mindfulness, Money Pot, Chill Out and Happy Tums.

# data[].attributes.body
Once you have completed your action plan then we will look to close you for support. However, this will be discussed with you in advance so there are no surprises.

By this point we would expect your confidence and skills to have developed so that you are able to move forward with advice and guidance from helplines, online or even doing your own research.
