Who can I talk to if I am worried?
You can speak to your health visitor - please visit our Support from your health visitor page which explains more about what they do and when they carry out development reviews. Remember it’s important to know that if you’re worried about something in-between visits, you can always contact your health visitor to get extra support, you do not need to wait.
As part of out Family Hub Start for Life Programme we have funded BHT to provide support under 'Owlets'. Owlets is a small parent and child group focusing on learning language through play with practical ideas that can be used in the home.
Owlets runs over a period of six weeks in Family Hub and Community Venues and is aimed at children aged 18months – 4 years and their parents.
What to expect:
- Weekly themes around commination and language development.
- Practical ideas to take away and implement at home.
- A range of activities and resources set up each week designed to promote your child’s language development.
- Our team of Language Development Workers on hand each week to offer support and advice.
If you are concerned about your child’s language development and feel that you may benefit from attending an Owlets group please contact your Health Visitor who can refer you.
To find our more visit the BHT Early Education Facebook Page or contact us on 01274 730415.
You can also attend one of our Wise Owl Language Development Advice drop in sessions. These sessions are starting from October 2023 and details can be found on our Family Hub timetables and on our What's On calendar.
