How do you refer?
The Diversionary Activities team provides
support for children and young people aged

in their lives because of:

imprisonment.

> An inability to develop positive peer
relationships & self esteem.
> Bullying and gang culture
> One to one support in school with a
dedicated worker focussing on the
needs of the child.
> Focussed Group Work in Schools
including:
– Bullying
– Social Skills
– Self Esteem
– Friendships
– Gangs
– Transitions to Secondary School
> Holiday Activities
> Information and advice
> Help in accessing other services
> Opportunity to have fun and make new
friends
> Motivational Parent support including:
