Cara, Communication, ,

We are delighted to announce that following recent interviews for the vacant position of Child Development Officer, Miss Colette Graham – a well known face around the Family Centre – was the successful candidate and will now become the new key worker for the yellow group in Cara playroom.

Colette started her career at Isobel Mair Family Centre when she embarked on her training as a Modern Apprentice almost two years ago and we are delighted she has now secured a permanent position.

We wish Colette every success in her post.

If you would be keen to purchase a copy of the DVD, please speak to Mrs Quaile or Mrs Todd and we will note your interest. If you have any concerns in terms of the distribution of this DVD, again please speak to Mrs Quaile or Mrs Todd.

 With this in mind, could I please remind parents of their responsibility in terms of using children’s photo’s etc. on social networking sites.

Many parent’s are happy to display photo’s of their own children on websites such as Facebook, however we ask that you respect other peoples’ privacy and only upload photo’s of your own child.

 Many Thanks.
