Welcome to FCIS
Family Crisis Intervention Service
FCIS is a support group for those involved with CYFS.
Our mission is to calm the storm which may result from engagement with CYFS, to support those parents and caregivers into a better place. And to point them in the right direction in fighting their good fight, always putting the children first and centring on the rights of the child.
FCIS is NOT against CYFS nor any other organisation. It is against tactics sometimes employed by individuals or groups within these organisations which may be in conflict with operative CODES OF CONDUCT, we are also against those who fail a reasonable standard of care in their work practices. Our role one of advocacy/mediators. Working to improve communication and case management.
FCIS is NOT about adding to the stress of individuals who find themselves in a whirlpool of bureaucracy and confusion . We do NOT feed into the negative but help individuals untangle and find the strength needed. We offer support and practical advice and if we do not have the answer we will do all we can to find out or put you on the right track to solutions.
Our role is to support families who have had children taken and placed into care and who are working within the guidelines and conditions laid down in the Family Group Conference between themselves and the Ministry with the object of regaining the care of their children.
To that end we help parents engage with the Ministry and become involved in Parenting programmes, counselling, attendance at non-violence programmes, and also developing bonding and age appropriate relationships between themselves and their children. We aid parents and caregivers who feel unsupported, facing allegations or in need of advice, advocacy or mediating with agencies, social workers and other professionals.
