Please note that there will be separate training for childminders at another date and will be tailored more closely to meet childminders’ needs and be at a time when there is an established system for childminders accessing WellComm packs.

Course description:

The aim of this course will be to equip practitioners with the skills and knowledge to be able to use the WellComm screening tool both to identify children’s strengths and areas of need and to plan appropriate interventions to support SLC development.
