Including Families Project

Children in Wales managed the Including Families Project between 2011-2014. The project worked with asylum, refugee and migrant families, communities and professionals to protect and safeguard children in these vulnerable families. It raised awareness  of the importance of safeguarding children, through helping families to be better integrated into communities in Wales. This included promoting positive parenting methods to improve parenting and communication within families, and keeping children safe and secure in their home environment.

By working with these families and communities, Children in Wales increased  understanding of the crucial role families have in their child’s safety, education, health and development, and of child protection law and practice in Wales. This was achieved through outreach work with community groups in the form of informal group sessions, workshops and seminars aimed at families, refugee community organisations and professionals.The project also worked with professionals, practitioners, higher education establishments and community groups to inform practice and promote social cohesion in working with refugee, asylum seeking and migrant families and communities.
