  An Evaluation of the Barnardos Ballybeg Playground Service
  Summary

  Barnardo's was established by an Irish man, Dr Thomas Barnardo who was born in Dublin in 1845. The first Barnardo's home was set up in London in 1870 for homeless boys however, the tradition expanded and in 1962 Barnardo's established roots in Ireland. Since then, Barnardo's has grown and evolved and today it delivers services and works with families, communities, and partners to transform the lives of vulnerable children who are experiencing adverse childhood experiences. One such service provided by Barnardo's is the Ballybeg Playground service which has served the community of Ballybeg in Waterford since it opened in 1999. This supervised playground service caters for a variety of children aged between 4 and 12 years who may be experiencing adversity and trauma, may be a member of the ethnic minority community, may have special educational needs, neurodiversity/sensory or processing needs. All children have the right to play as set out in Article 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC 1989). Furthermore, play is a very important activity for children since play helps children to make sense of the world around them, it provides children with a means of expressing their feelings and also helps children to make sense of the relationships in their lives. The aim of this project is to evaluate the Barnardo's Ballybeg Playground service which serves the community of Ballybeg in Waterford, Ireland.

  An Evaluation of the Community Children"s Programme for Meath Women"s Refuge and Support Services (MWRSS).
  Summary

  Meath Women"s Refuge and Support Services (MWRSS) is a domestic violence service for women and children in the Meath area. It was established in 1987 by a group of volunteers and since then it has evolved and developed into the comprehensive service that it is today. The overarching objective of MWRSS is to provide emergency crisis accommodation and supports to women and children who must leave their home due to domestic violence and abuse within the family, and to provide outreach support services to women and children in the community who are experiencing domestic violence and abuse. These services are provided in a caring and non-judgemental environment with the core values of being women and child centred, inclusive, accountable, and trustworthy. In 2022 MWRSS provided refuge accommodation to 57 women and 74 children and worked with 131 children in refuge and in the community, an increase of 42% from the previous year. MWRSS also worked with 131 children in refuge and the community in 2022, an increase of 42% from the previous year. Furthermore, MWRSS increased their counselling services significantly providing 525 sessions to 164 women, 76 sessions of play and music therapy to children, an overall increase of 62% in therapeutic services provided in 2022 compared to 2021 (MWRSS 2023).

  Joint research project on identifying integrated family support approaches for families living in the International Protection Accommodation system
  Summary

  Currently Europe is observing the greatest movement of refugees since the Second World War and Ireland has promised to provide support for people fleeing war and persecution through the Irish Refugee Protection Programme which was established in September 2015. Between September 2015 and June 2019, over two and a half thousand people have been relocated or resettled in Ireland under the programme, half of these people were children under the age of 18 years. According to statistics published by the International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) in January 2022, there are 45 International Protection (Direct Provision) accommodation centres nationwide and 24 emergency accommodation centres. At the beginning of 2022, more than one in four residents in these centres was a child, totaling 1,822 children, living with one or both parents. Previous research has identified a need for the development of tailored family support programmes with a view to providing support for parents as they adjust to living and parenting in a new context of the IPAS. Using case study research this project will explore the current family support practices that are available in the IPAS and examine and evaluate the training and support provided to staff working with families in the IPAS. This research will also explore and identify the needs of families (parents and children) in terms of parenting support and integration.

  School-aged children and the management of Type 1 Diabetes in the primary school environment: an investigation of how to support children, parents and schools
  Summary

  Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a common chronic medical condition that affects many children around the world. The successful management of T1D requires close monitoring of blood glucose levels, the administration of insulin and a fine balancing of insulin requirements with food intake and physical activity. Young children with T1D rely on their parents to manage their condition, until they are old enough to understand how to self-care. There are potential life-threatening complications associated with having T1D such as the development of diabetic ketoacidosis or hypoglycaemia, both potentially life-threatening conditions which must be avoided. The reliance of young children on their parents for the management of their T1D poses challenges for parents of school-aged children. The proposed project presented in this application seeks to identify how school-aged children with T1D can be supported in the primary school setting. This seed funding will enable an investigation that will be conducted from the perspective of the child with T1D, ensuring that the voice of the child is heard. Findings will inform a further research application for the development of a child focused pilot study of integrated care for school-aged children with T1D in Ireland.

  An evaluation of the Where Im At project for Meath Womens Refuge and Support Services (MWRSS)
  Summary

  Domestic abuse is a pattern of coercive, threatening or controlling behaviour used by one person against another within a close or intimidate relationship. Domestic abuse can often include physical, emotional, psychological, sexual or financial abuse and it has significant consequences for large numbers of, mostly female victims, across the globe. Children can be direct or indirect victims of domestic abuse meaning that they can experience abuse themselves at the hands of the perpetrator or that they can be witnesses of the abuse. Living in a home where there is domestic abuse can have a profound negative impact on a child's development. Although a parent might try to shield a child from abuse within the home, research has shown that children have a much higher awareness of abuse than their parents realise. Children of victims of domestic abuse have been found to have worse health outcomes at birth and during early childhood, which puts these children at a disadvantage in life. The aim of this project is to conduct an evaluation of the Where Im At project for Meath Womens Refuge and Support Services (MWRSS).

  Children who live in disadvantaged areas: a case study of the health and well-being related perceptions and experiences of school-aged children and their families.
  Summary

  Background: Recent times have witnessed the development of a new appreciation towards child health and well-being and consequently there has been an upsurge of research concerning various aspects of children's lives. Positive health in childhood sets the scene for good health in adulthood which is beneficial for all of society. There are however disparities in child health, and the social determinants of health such as the circumstances into which children are born, grow up and live in, are all influenced by economic, political and social forces, thus collectively shaping child health and well-being. The aim of the study presented in this thesis was to explore the health and well-being related perceptions and experiences of school-aged children and their families, who live in areas of urban disadvantage. Although much of the research to date concerning children's lives aims to better understand children's lives it remains that little is known about the lives of children who live in disadvantaged areas. Methodology: Case study research was adopted to achieve the study objectives which encompassed the exploration of 'family' and 'health' with children and families from areas of urban disadvantage. The case in this research is a single case which is comprised of a unit of analysis (15 participating families) and sub-units of analysis (fieldnotes and archival records). Data collection consisted of face-to-face interviews with children, parents and grandparents, recording of study fieldnotes and the collection of archival data. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse the variety of data sources. Findings: Findings indicate that children view their personal family composition very differently to adults. Family support exists in various formats within families which contributes positively to child health and well-being. Children in the study demonstrated a holistic understanding of health and view the concepts of health and well-being interchangeably. Maternal grandparents occupy a special place in the life of the child who lives in an urban disadvantaged area. Parenting issues are exacerbated by financial constraints experienced by families. The study found that the greatest challenge for parents of children from areas of urban disadvantage is keeping their children safe from drugs and drug related activity. Children view their area in a mostly positive light however, adults have mixed feelings about the area where they live. Conclusion: Living in an area of urban disadvantage poses many challenges for the school-aged child and their family. This research provides a unique picture of the perceptions and experiences of the school-aged child and family who live in an area of urban disadvantage thus contributing to a greater understanding of these children's lives.
