Compass Child and Family Services is a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG) having been granted charity status by the Irish Charities Regulatory Authority (charity number 20144180). The organisation was set up by a multidisciplinary group of professionals with a long standing involvement in working with children, adolescents and their families from disadvantaged backgrounds. The Focus of our work lies in family-strengthening interventions, both in community based and out of home settings. Our Philosophy of working with young people and their families has a strong underpinning and is guided by principles of the continental European Model of Social Pedagogy and incorporates those principles on how we engage with young people, families and how our services are delivered. Compass Child and Family Services offer out of home care arrangements for children in the care of the Irish State. We offer both fostering services and residential services and operate four "Shared Living Space" houses, two are located in the town of Ballina, Co. Tipperary, one in Tralee, Co. Kerry and one in Donohill, Co. Tipperary. We have an office in Killaloe, Co. Clare and Limerick City.
