An Evaluation of the `Where I'm At' Project at Meath Women's Refuge and Support Services (MWRSS)

Abstract

Findings from this evaluation research indicate that the ‘Where I’m At’ project is a significantly valuable component of the Children’s Programme at MWRSS. The project has had a positive impact on the children and women who participated in the evaluation and is a welcome addition to the current Children’s Programme according to refuge staff. The role of the Childrens Support Worker cannot be underestimated as indicated from the numerous positive interview extracts from women and children. This research has showcased how the Childrens Support Worker provides support for the child individually and within their family.
