What is Caps?
Child & Parent Support (Caps) is our early intervention family support service aimed at supporting children aged 8 – 13 years (and their families) who are experiencing difficulty in the education system, at home and or in the community and who require a multi-agency response to meet their needs. The service works to address identified needs and promote the safety and wellbeing of children, young people and their families.
