Notice Title

Solihull Approach online courses MUL (University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust)

Notice Description

Hartlepool Borough Council has been successful in gaining an extension to the Family Hubs funding (DfE). The programme has a number of strands with one of them being parenting support, DfE will only passport the funding if specific programmes are used. Health visitors have previously been trained in this approach and therefore this approach is felt to be the most appropriate to improve outcomes for our children. The Solihull Approach will provide online parenting intervention to parents in Hartlepool and to undertake staff training to include group facilitator training. Solihull Approach is designed to support emotional health and wellbeing in children, families and adults. The model is also supported by a comprehensive range of training materials. This training was commissioned via an exemption request previously. In order to continue to offer the same format of training to parents and professionals, and to satisfy the requirements of the DfE funding, an extension is required in order to continue to fund the Solihull Approach.
