Information Centre
If you need advice or information we have a wide range of services and resources available for students, parents and childcare professionals.
Child Protection
If you suspect a child or young person is being harmed or is at risk of harm then you should contact the Duty Social Worker in your local health office. Outside office hours all child protection concerns should be referred to the Gardaí. Click here to see the steps to take.
Library
Our library is open to the public and provides comprehensive information on issues relating to children and families. Members can borrow books and resources, which are listed on our online catalogue.
Publications and Newsletters
Barnardos publishes a broad range of material, from publications aimed at professionals in the childcare industry through to information and guides for parents. Through this publications centre you will be able to search through all of our publications, including policy papers and submissions, information brochures about Barnardos' services and our range of publications produced by Barnardos' Training and Resource Service.
Training
Barnardos offers public and tailored courses in a variety of areas to childcare practitioners, parents, carers and all people working with children.
Young People
Everyone has their ups and downs in life but sometimes you might find you are going through a difficult issue that you need some help with. Teen Help is our dedicated section to help and support teenagers. We also have lots of other information that may be useful for school projects and of course, ways in which you can get involved and support Barnardos as a volunteer or fundraiser.
Parents
One of our aims is to help parents to be the best that they can be. We provide a range of booklets for parents of teenagers and young children to help them support their child through difficult times and to support their positive development. In addition we provide training courses, and we also have a database of all parenting courses available in Ireland.
Research
We produce the best available evidence of what works to improve outcomes for children, young people and families.
