A retrospective study of the Meitheal model
(2018)
Cassidy, Anne; Rodriguez, Leonor; Devaney, Carmel
Abstract:
This report presents findings on a retrospective study of the experiences of parents1 and Lead Practitioners who participated in Meitheals initiated prior to 2017. This is complementary to the Meitheal Process and Outcomes study, which is part of the overall evaluation of the Meitheal and Child and Family Support Networks (CFSNs) model. A qualitative approach was used to gather the data for this research study. The findings focus on participants’ views on taking part in the process and its perceived role in addressing children’s, young people’s2, and families’ unmet needs, with some discussion about whether the changes have been sustained.

(2018)
Rodriguez, Leonor; Cassidy, Anne; Devaney, Carmel
Abstract:
This report presents research on the Meitheal and Child and Family Support Network (CFSN) model.1 The research has three components – (1) the Meitheal Process and Outcomes study, (2) findings on the Child and Family Support Networks and (3) Interviews with Internal and External Stakeholders: Common Data Collection. Data was collected for this report between January 2017 and March 2018.2 Firstly, the Meitheal Process and Outcomes study evaluates the impact of the Meitheal model on outcomes for families in Ireland, the process of its implementation and its impact on the child protection and welfare system. Data was collected with parents3, children and young people4 and Lead Practitioners. This is a longitudinal mixed method study. The qualitative findings focus on the experience of participating in Meitheal as well as its perceived influence on outcomes and the service provision system in Ireland. The quantitative findings report on the impact of Meitheal on outcomes for children, y...

Meitheal and child and family support networks final report: Tusla’s programme for prevention, partnership and family support
(2018)
Rodriguez, Leonor; Cassidy, Anne; Devaney, Carmel
Abstract:
The Development and Mainstreaming Programme for Prevention, Partnership and Family Support (PPFS) is a programme of action being undertaken by Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, as part of its National Service Delivery Framework. The programme seeks to embed prevention and early intervention into the culture and operation of Tusla. The UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, NUI Galway has undertaken an evaluation study focusing on the implementation of and the outcomes from the PPFS programme. The study’s overall research question is: Is the organisational culture and practice of Tusla and its partners changing such that services are more integrated, preventative, evidence-informed, and inclusive of children and parents? If so, is this contributing to improved outcomes for children and their families? The evaluation study has adopted a Work Package approach reflecting the key components of the PPFS programme. The five work packages are: Meitheal and Child and Family Support Netwo...

Meitheal and child and family support networks process and outcomes: pilot study
(2018)
Rodriguez, Leonor; Cassidy, Anne; Devaney, Carmel
Abstract:
This document reports on the fi ndings of the Meitheal and Child and Family Support Networks (CFSN) Process and Outcomes Pilot Study. This study was carried out between October and November 2016 to evaluate the appropriateness and ‘ease of use’ of the proposed scales for the overall Process and Outcomes Study. Data was collected from children, young people, and families already engaged in Meitheal. They were asked to provide feedback on the design, content, and comprehension of the tools. Lead Practitioners attended a training session on how to use the scales and were then asked to provide feedback on their overall experience of using the scales with families they were already working with. The research team analysed the scale feedback forms to select the most suitable scales to be included in the overall study

Rodriguez, Leonor; Cassidy, Anne; Devaney, Carmel
Abstract:
This research study is being conducted as part of the UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre’s evaluation of the Development and Mainstreaming Programme for Prevention, Partnership and Family Support (PPFS) that Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, which is responsible for safeguarding children and young people’s welfare and supporting families, is currently implementing. The purpose of the PPFS Programme is to integrate early intervention and prevention practices and principles into the work that Tusla and partners in the statutory and community and voluntary sector carry out with children, young people and their families. The PPFS Programme has five core domains; parenting support and participation; children’s participation; commissioning of services; public awareness and the implementation of Meitheal and the Child and Family Support Networks (CFSNS). Meitheal is an early intervention model, which is used to support children, young people and their families with unmet needs who d...

The child and family support networks research study
(2018)
Cassidy, Anne; Rodriguez, Leonor; Devaney, Carmel
Abstract:
Child and Family Support Networks (CFSNs) are multi-agency networks that are in the process of being established in each Tusla Integrated Service Area (ISA).1 Their purpose is to support Tusla’s aim of developing an ‘integrated service delivery’ framework (Gillen et al., 2013: 14) for working with families. A number of these networks have been created in each ISA (ideally a network should be developed per 30,000–50,000 inhabitants) with either virtual or physical hubs, such as Family Resource Centres, at their core. These partnership-based networks are open to any service that has an input into families’ lives, including Tusla staff as well as other statutory organisations and community and voluntary agencies. The model’s goals are to work with families to ensure that there is ‘No Wrong Door’2 and that services are available to support them as locally as possible. It also has a role in supporting the development of the Meitheal model. In the context of this report, Meitheal refers ...
