CEDAR (Children Experiencing Domestic Abuse Recovery) is a new 12 week group work programme for Mothers and Children who have experienced domestic abuse and are in recovery. This is currently being piloted within West Dunbartonshire for Mothers and Children aged 4-16 years old by the Violence Against Women Partnership.
CEDAR is a therapeutic voluntary group-work programme which seeks to increase Mother’s understanding of domestic abuse and the impact on their children.

Mother/child relationships are strengthened.
Mother’s know how to keep children safe and have support.
CEDAR also gives children a greater knowledge of safe behaviour and the ability to manage their emotions and actions in response to domestic abuse.

We are currently looking for Mums and Children who are interested in participating in a CEDAR group and would very much appreciate your help. It is important that:

Mums and children are interested and have given consent for a referral to be made as CEDAR is a voluntary programme.
That mums and children are not at a point of crisis and the perpetrator is no longer living within the family home.
Children and young people between 4- 16 years old.

During the cold month of January, young people from across West Dunbartonshire were busy working with Young Scot in having a say in identifying the priorities facing local young people. Small focus groups were attended by youth from Y sort it, Bonhill , Clydebank High and the local college. The focus groups presented the opportunity for local young people to gather and discuss the issues that are most important to them and their communities. The top priorities under each theme were as follows…..

* Theme - Work and Benefits – Priority; More Jobs

* Supporting Children and Families ; More Affordable Childcare

* Safe, Strong and Involved Communities – Affordable Facilities, Things To Do & Feeling Safe

The Results - Happy Reading !!! The feedback from the discussion is now available to download from this site and will influence the West Dunbartonshire’s Single Outcome Agreement which is aimed to explore how the Council will working partners can help to improve the lives of residents in a way that reflects local circumstances and national priorities.
