The proposed new Deansrath Family Centre

Deansrath Family Centre (DFC) has been serving children and families of Dublin West for over 20 years.

We are located within an area of high socioeconomic disadvantage characterised by high levels of unemployment, single parent households and low levels of education and poverty. Our Centre has evolved over time and expanded from solely providing childcare to delivering a range of evidence-based approaches rooted in the principles of prevention and early intervention. We identify needs within families early and provide coordinated support before problems become more complex. Families can access a range of services and supports including; ECCE (which also caters for children with special educational needs), parenting programmes and child therapeutic interventions, as well as a range of wraparound supports ensuring that our families receive appropriate supports to improve their outcomes.

Our Logic Model below details our goals and activities and proposed outcomes over the short, medium and long-term. This model will guide our work and allow us to evaluate progress in order to continually improve programmes to produce positive outcomes for families.
