Additional Information

Supporting a culture of learning and resilience with Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic families in South Belfast. FLIP supports a culture of learning and resilience with Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) families in South Belfast. FLIP uses holistic approaches to build the capacity of BAME families to gain skills and become more confident members of their communities, whilst celebrating their own language and cultural heritage. FLIP is made up of a number of different capacity building programmes: ■ Parent and Infant Programme (PIP) ■ Parent Active Learning programme (PAL) ■ Language Made Fun (LMF) and Language Together (LT) ■ Drop-in Service ■ English Classes ■ Individual Support ■ Men’s Work ■ Volunteering Support FLIP supports BAME parents with children who are aged 0-11 years old, attending, or intending to attend, Holy Rosary Primary School or Fane Street PrimarySchool in South Belfast. The overall long-term outcomes of the FLIP interventions are confident families actively engaging with their local communities, and better educational opportunities for BAME children. How FLIP works Parents are introduced to FLIP through Open Days in both primary schools, where they indicate which programmes they would like to be involved in through expression of interest forms and questionnaires; Project Workers follow up with a phone call or meeting. FLIP receives referrals from the partner schools, and holds drop-in sessions once a week at each school for families who may have missed the OpenDays. The project is supported by both schools and makes use of the school’s internal communication systems to engage with parents. Please see attached booklet at Useful Documents for information
