The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY) will shortly be re-launching the Supporting Children campaign in light of intensified COVID-19 restrictions.
Supporting Children is a campaign developed by DCEDIY to support vulnerable children, young people, and their families in challenging times. It was first launched on 19 June 2020, highlighting the range of services and supports in place and the innovative responses this sector was making to meet the needs of vulnerable groups across a range of service areas, from Child Protection and Welfare to Education Support, Parenting and Family Support and others.
The campaign is designed with two purposes. It encourages all of us to look out for vulnerable children whose lives and supports have been severely disrupted during the current pandemic. It also spotlights the Supporting Children website, pointing to a wide range of information detailing supports for children, young people and families.
