The New Level of Life focus on community assessments to enable parent and child to remain together in a safe environment and where the staff team will work together in the promotion of parenting and basic life skills.
The New Level of Life considers that every child has the right to expect a level of parenting adequate to meet that child’s physical, emotional and social needs and it is within this remit that parents are assessed.
The assessment process benefits both parents and children and is a structured approach for the preparation of reports requested by the referral agents, to be used within Court proceedings.
