Referrals to the

local professionals (with the parent's consent).
If you would like
more information or are interested in becoming a befriender,

Additional
information about the service:
This service is
also offering a bi-lingual telephone 'help-line' manned by
3 trained parent befrienders who speak, between them, 4 'Asian'
languages.
They will take details and the scheme
co-ordinator will then arrange for a parent to be contacted
by a bi-lingual worker from a relevant voluntary or statutory
organisation that meet their needs. The caller may also
want to refer themselves to the Face 2 Face befriending service,
in this instant they will be matched with one of the bi-lingual
befrienders.
