Additional Supports
The FRC delivers Parenting and Grand Parenting Programmes at the Children Centre.
These programmes are focussed on the parent-child relationship, health and wellbeing, behaviour and emotional difficulties, which can impact and improve the factors which influence family relationships.
The Waterford Inner City Parent & Toddler Group which is supported by the FRC in conjunction with Waterford City Council Central Library has enabled parents for the past 3 years to create their own informal support network with other parents across the city thus combating isolation, while the toddlers experience interaction on a number of levels with other children and adults by engaging in a programme of child centred activities.
The FRC also delivers Keeping Safe Child Protection Training for community and voluntary groups which helps to create community awareness and capacity to deal with child protection issues in a preventative way.
