| Project Summary |
The aim of this research is to review the implementation and impact of Meitheal, including the role of the Child and Family Support Networks in supporting its delivery. Meitheal is a Tusla-led Early Intervention Practice Model designed to ensure that the strengths and needs of children and their families are effectively identified, understood, and responded to in a timely way so they get the help and support needed to improve children’s outcomes and realise their rights. It is an early intervention, multi-agency (when necessary) response, tailored to the needs of the individual child or young person. Child and Family Support Networks (CFSNs) are made up of various agencies and local voluntary and community services in a particular catchment area working with and supporting children and families. Both Meitheal and the CFSNs are part of Tusla - Child and Family Agency’s Programme for Partnership, Prevention, and Family Support (PPFS).s. |
