Service provision: a proactive approach
Some Principles of Parent Focused Services

Services to parents should be caring, personalised, respectful, confidential, protective of their rights and involve the least possible interference and intrusiveness.

• Parents should be dealt with fairly.

• Parents should be consulted and involved in decisions to the fullest extent.

• Services should be timely, responsive, accessible and culturally appropriate.

Every child needs a family and the benefits of family relationships. Every assistance should be provided to support, maintain and assist these relationships thereby encouraging and protecting the family unit.
