The Focusing on Families survey is your chance to share your views on how family support services in NI can best meet the needs of children, young people and families 😊

The goal of the Children and Family Charter Consultation is to make the children’s social care system in NI easier to understand, more supportive, and more consistent. We'd encourage children, young people, and parents/carers to fill in this survey on the consultation 😊

The Commissioner was pleased to meet with @scottcuthb50284 and Alexa Moore from the @RainbowProject7 today. They discussed key issues affecting LGBTQIA+ children and young people in NI, including education, healthcare, hate crime, and discrimination.
The Commissioner had a very valuable discussion with the Director of @AdoptionUK NI, EJ Havlin. Key issues discussed included Adoption and Children’s (NI) act, review of Children’s social care and pressures and barriers faced by adopting parents.
