Last chance for your staff to attend Best Beginnings: the Solihull Approach on Wednesday 12th July 2024 (online) 6:15pm – 7:45pm.
This non-chargeable training session, delivered by Nadine Last (Parenting Strategy Coordinator for Shropshire’s Parenting Team), is for professionals working with under 1’s. During this session we will examine early brain development and the Solihull Approach, exploring how professionals can support this development and utilise the approach in their practice.
The Solihull Approach is a highly practical way of working within a robust theoretical structure. It explores how the quality of the relationship between adults and babies impacts the way the brain wires itself, and on the child’s ability to regulate their own emotions and behaviours.
To book one or more places on this training session, please use the link: UCS Shrewsbury CPD (ucshrewsbury.ac.uk)
