Children First Derby works with vulnerable children, young people and families, to make a positive impact in their lives and the local community.
We currently offer three distinct services:
Supervised Contact Service for Looked After Children
This service provides supervised contact for looked after children so they can spend time with their families in a welcoming, child friendly and safe environment.
Family Support Services
Derby City Family Support Service
This service supports families who live within Derby City with a child under the age of 18 years. A trained volunteer visits a family on a regular basis to provide non-judgemental, practical and emotional support.
South Derbyshire Schools Family Support Service
We provide a targeted early help service to a designated number of infant and junior schools in the South Derbyshire area.
Mentoring Services for Young People
Our Mentoring Service is a one-to-one volunteer mentoring programme that provides confidential, community based support for young people aged 10 to 18 who are facing challenges at home, at school, or in the community.
