In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Barnardo’s, in partnership with The Department for Education (DfE), will be delivering a new and innovative programme across England that aims to support the most vulnerable children and young people who are often hidden from view.
We would like to hear from any BAME organisations working with or delivering services to:
- *Under 5’s with a specific focus on under 2’s.
- * Those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
- * Children who maybe at increased risk of abuse, neglect and exploitation inside or outside of the home.
- * Young carers and refugee children experiencing barriers to accessing services.
- * Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic children experiencing barriers to accessing service
- *Children not receiving support currently from statutory organisations
- * Those who are at risk and/or experiencing adverse impact to their health and well-being
