Barnardo's training boost for working with babies

Children’s charity Barnardo’s is launching a new ‘Five to thrive’ training programme for its early years staff to help them support the development and life chances of babies under one.

Staff at 300 of the charity’s early years services will receive the day’s training, delivered through face-to-face sessions run by Kate Cairns Associates in partnership with Barnardo’s Training and Consultancy.

Course content will focus on five key building blocks for healthy personal, social and emotional development in children under the age of one: respond, cuddle, relax, play and talk.

Staff will also be able to access an e-learning course, allowing them to revisit the topics covered on the training day, as well as a range of supplementary resources including colour guides and posters, and e-resources such as case studies, practice tools and a video.
