Home-Start Dundee aims to empower families through the personal relationship which they develop with the volunteer.

Home-Start believes that children need a happy and secure childhood and that parents play the key role in giving their children a good start in life and helping them achieve their full potential.

Home-Start Dundee will accept a referral from any source as long as:-

  • The family has agreed to the referral
  • The family has at least one child under five years of age

Once a family has been referred and a referral form has been received one of the Co-ordinators will arrange to visit the family to discuss their needs and answer any questions.

The Co-ordinator will endeavour to match the family as quickly as possible, however, occasionally a family may need to wait for a suitable volunteer to become available.

Once a volunteer is introduced to the family the Referrer will be notified of this. A family choose whether or not to accept Home-Start support and also when the match should end.

Home-Start Dundee aims to ensure that confidentiality is not breached except where there is a concern about the safety or welfare of a child.
