Description

The project aims to develop a training programme to support high quality delivery of Stay and Play drop-ins and Community Child Health Hubs in Camden. Through engagement in this programme, practitioners will develop a deeper understanding and enhanced skills to support parents to be involved in their child's learning through play. The programme recognises the importance of the relationship between the child and parent as well as the challenges inhibiting parenting capacity for the most disadvantaged families. It is proposed that the provider of the new service will offer a training programme to ensure high quality universal Stay and Play and Child Health Hub services. This would be achieved through developing a universal drop-in practitioner training programme, and a training hub, through delivery of 3 specialist 'targeted' drop-ins for homeless families and young parents. The project would seek to establish a training programme for universal Stay and Play, community child health hub practitioners and other children centre staff undertaking 1 to 1 work with families and children. It is proposed that this would be 3 x 1 day trainings (termly) for up to 45/50 staff per year and up to 3 additional sessions informed by observation and areas for development. In addition staff will have opportunities to observe practice within sessions, following a 6 week placement cycle within the 3 targeted drop-ins.
