July 2006

We had our staff Away Day at the Sure Start Rainbow Centre.

I'm still helping out on home visits and making Ante-natal and Birth Packs. I've also been assisting family support in home visits.
As it was last session, we've had a party at the Rainbow Children's Centre for 'Mums' attending the Baby Talk course, to celebrate our achievements. This course went really well, it was enjoyed enormously by all and 'Mums' were sorry to leave.
I will be attending their homes in a couple of weeks to carry out an evaluation, of the effectiveness of the course.
I will now be attending the 'Heath Drop in' clinic at Highfield Centre to assist and take a lead in interpreting to Mums who have concerns about babies and children up to 5 years old. This is being carried out by Health Visitors from Farfield Group Practice.

Development courses attended this month:
Literacy Level 1 passed
Smoking cessation - Brief intervention
Child Protection procedure training
