MacIntyre Families Support
Hearing from the families of people we support is something that we encourage and promote across all of MacIntyre. On this page we have created a portal for anyone to use at any time, day or night – welcome to the MacIntyre Families Support.
We suggest that you use the MacIntyre Families Support if you want to do the following:
- Share your knowledge
- Ask a question
- Contribute towards the creation of family resources
- Volunteer and work alongside Nicola Payne, MacIntyre’s Family Engagement Consultant
- Signpost others to recommended websites or resources that have helped you
- Leave feedback which will help improve practice
We will respond to you within 7 working days.
If you need to contact us as a matter of urgency this is not the platform to do this; your first port of call would be to contact the team that supports your loved one.
