WHO WILL
ANSWER MY CALL?

All calls are answered by our dedicated and professional team of Parent Support Officers, who wholeheartedly believe in the importance of parenting. Parent Support Officers are prepared to expect questions on a huge range of issues. There are no silly questions when it comes to parenting!

WHAT CAN I EXPECT
FROM A CALL?

  • You will be asked what you want to talk about and what you need from the call.
  • You may be offered helpful resources or strategies to further support you.
  • You may be signposted to other community services if appropriate.
  • You may not have a question to ask, but simply need a space to feel heard and understood.

CONFIDENTIALITY

All personal information about parents, children and vulnerable adults is treated as confidential.

However, the exceptions to this is when there are concerns of

  • child abuse
  • suicide
  • serious crime
  • the taking of, making, distribution and possession of indecent or abuse images of a child

In these cases, ParentLine NI staff are obliged to pass on the information to Social Services or the relevant agency.
