Introduction
The Le Chéile Mentoring Project was established in March 2005 to provide a Mentoring service to children and young people aged 12-18 years engaged in Young Persons' Probation. It was set up to meet the needs of the Mentor (Family Support) Order under the requirements of the Children's Act 2001. Le Chéile has since expanded to encompass a Parent Mentoring service for Parents of Young People who are involved with YPP and also in piloting the Strengthening Families Programme on behalf of Probation.
Le Chéile is a child-centred, non-judgemental service which recruits and trains volunteers from local communities to act as Mentors to Young People and families involved with Young Person's Probation.
Le Chéile works to achieve a number of aims: |
|
1. To provide a Mentoring Service to children and parents engaged with Young Person's Probation nationally. |
|
2. To provide a Mentoring Service which promotes positive change and aims to improve the decision making and overall well-being of our service users. |
|
3. To recruit and train teams of volunteer Mentors to act in the role of supportive adult, role model, advisor and friend. |
|
4. To ensure that every person who voluteers as a Mentor with Le Chéile is supported, valued and recognised in their role. |
|
5. To compliment the role of Young Person's Probation in addressing offending behaviour in line with legislative requirements under the Mentor (Family Support) Order. |
