Bookbug for the Home training is for all professionals, practitioners and volunteers working in the community to support individual families in their homes. Bookbug for the Home can also be used as part of targeted work with small groups. The training is a flexible approach that will enable you to enhance family support work.
This training course is aimed at family support workers, early years workers, social workers and social work assistants, members of health visiting teams, speech and language therapists, prison visitor centre staff and other family outreach workers, as well as volunteers who work in such capacities.
Our interactive training is a balance of practical exercises and researched-based theory about book sharing, music and child development.
Although you will participate in songs and rhymes in the group, you will not be asked to sing on your own.
