At the end of last month, our preparation course for new volunteers began and for the first time it is being held online. Topics covered include: Listening Skills; Confidentiality; Supporting Positive Parenting; and Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults. Guest speakers will talk to the volunteers about child development, Maternal Mental Health Support and Health Visitor provision. A current volunteer will also talk to the group about her own experiences. We are hopeful that towards the end of the course, in March, we may be able to hold sessions in person.
