Families
Plus
Children
North East believes that parents want the best for their children.
We know that children and young people do best in their lives
if they are brought up in stable families with the support
of their parents. The purpose of Families Plus is to offer
a range of tailored services and support to families who are
struggling with difficulties that are entrenched and often
arising from their own childhood experiences
Fathers
Plus

North East Fathers Plus project commenced in 1997 and has
grown to be of national and international significance.
The project aim is to ensure that men in caring roles are
valued, supported and included in all approaches to work with
children and families.

up a new model of working in two areas of the region, Sedgefield
