Resources: Just out - A round-up of new resources

Wimps, which stands for Where is My Public Servant?, is a web site conceived, designed and created by a group of 10 young people from Northern Ireland supported by youth development charity Public Achievement. Children and young people can type their postcode into the site and access the politicians that represent their area. The site also contains interviews conducted by young people with leading political figures.

Welcoming Children Into Your Neighbourhood

This booklet written by social worker and adoptive parent Jane Espley is a simple guide to how communities can help children who are adopted, fostered or seeking asylum. They may have been abused or neglected, witnessed terrifying events or been separated from their families. It explains how traumatic experiences affect children and young people, as well as outlining strategies to support and welcome them.
