Key concepts At-risk Children (0-18) Resilience Development Risk Prevention Strengthening Families Early Intervention After-school Care Life-space of Child Concrete Support Social Connectedness Link to Resources Overview The Isibindi Programme is a National programme developed and facilitated by the National Association of Child Care Workers (NACCW) The NACCW programme is a framework and allows each site the freedom to define a variation of childcare according to the needs for the specific community. James House has two sites – one in Imizamo Yethu (at the Oranjekloof Primary School) and one in the Hout Bay fishing village, Hangberg (at the Sentinel Primary School). Each site has a team of 12 Child & Youth Care Workers (CYCW) providing a variety of services focused on creating a safety-net for at-risk children. Working in the life-space of the child the CYCW’s ensure access to resources and concrete support of the family. A Safe Park is provided every afternoon where children can play securely and get a meal. Our partnership with both the National Association of Child Care Workers (NACCW) and the Department of Social Development (DSD) is growing from strength to strength. Unique to the James House version of Isibindi is an approach that is school-based and integrated with the school’s management. During the past year James House has affectively developed a new Isibindi standard, which has now been adopted by DSD National, for future site roll-outs.
