Project Summary |
The aim of this work is to devise and implement a facilitation process that will explore the potential of the ABC programme operation into the future in relation to overall anti-poverty goals and the local needs of children, young people and their families, its fit and added value within the existing prevention, early intervention and family support provision within Tusla, and its scope to support service and programme innovation from within that context.
