Bookbug Session for the Home training is suitable for professionals already working with vulnerable families in their homes.
The training will provide professionals with the knowledge, tools and resources to incorporate the core principals of Bookbug sessions (talking, cuddling and sharing books, songs and rhymes) into their home visits. The training focuses on how to sensitively and practically encourage parents and carers to engage with children in the home.
Bookbug for the Home training is available on the following dates and locations.
