How will you use what you have
learned today?
Very helpful - ideas to take back to team - leaflet about
professionals who'll be involved.
Good to realise that don't always need
to be involved if parents don't need it.
Consider in more depth how true
partnership with parents can be developed.
The importance of evaluating
progress with parents.
Excellent idea to produce an information leaflet
about the role of all the professionals that parents might encounter.
More involvement with parents and being more sensitive to their needs.
Consider how parents could become more involved in service.
Need to put
greater emphasis on communication with families and benefit of parent
to parent groups to meet.
Don't think I learned anything new today.

and professionals.

What, if anything, could
have been improved about the course?

to raise awareness of other authorities practices.

More time to 'network' but well aware of time restraints.
Should
have the views of the children, what they like and what they don't like
and what they would like to be improved.

the course?
A very interesting and valuable course.
Useful - raising
awareness of parent liaison.
This is such an important area - more days

Well presented.
There should be
more events like this where parents, professionals and children can share
