Community Parent Volunteers work with and support families living in the North Lowestoft area with a child under the age of 5 years. We offer a confidential, befriending, parent to parent support which helps isolated families to meet others. We use picture based information sheets covering topics such as parenting, healthy eating, hygiene and personal health. We are there to listen to families.
What kind of training do Community Parents receive?
Community Parent Volunteers have to take a 13 week accredited training programme.
Training includes Child Protection, Equal Opportunities and Diversity,
Confidentiality, Domestic Violence awareness, Health and Safety and Food Hygiene.
