Work with Adults

Barnardos Ireland provides a range of specialist services designed to support adults who are seeking information about their early lives, their families of origin, or who need advocacy during child protection proceedings. Our work is grounded in respect, dignity and confidentiality, ensuring every adult who comes to us feels heard, supported and empowered.

Many adults in Ireland continue to live with unanswered questions about their childhoods, identity, and family background. Others are navigating complex care proceedings and need clear information and a trusted advocate by their side. Barnardos’ adult services were created to meet these needs with compassion, expertise, and trauma-informed practice.
