Family Services Project

The Family Services Project (FSP) was originally established as a pilot project in late 1998 as a result of a recommendation in­cluded in the report of the Commission on the Family «Strength­ening Families for Life.»

The overall objective of the FSP is to provide a high quality information service on the range of supports available to families from state agencies and the community & voluntary sector with a particular emphasis on the agencies and services availa­ble locally. Within the project, an enhanced program of support is available to a small group of customers with complex needs, for instance very young lone mothers, other parents rearing children without the support of a partner and dependent spous­es on Social Welfare payments in households with children and careers.

It is hoped that the additional support involving individual attention, customized information and enhanced access to serv­ices which would assist the family will increase the capacity of those in the most difficult circumstances to improve their self-esteem and personal situations through the training, develop­mental and educational opportunities made available. Examples of activities funded under the Program side include parenting projects for very young lone parents, support programs for fam­ilies of disabled persons and family support for travelers.

 

The Department of Social Welfare provides welfare programs and services to the women in need and distress, the handicapped persons, neglected street children, social security for the aged and destitute through the network of residential care homes and non-institutional services. Besides this the Department also pro­vides avenues of self-employment to women, children, and handicapped and creates awareness amongst general public re­garding the welfare measures of the Department.
