Uh. Nope. No parenting courses here...

[A] Hardly think they would run parenting courses whilst still cancelling child health clinics
B. If the family hubs are going to be run from existing children's centres, why wouldn't they run the parenting classes there to introduce parents to the centres that can support them? Oh that's right, that's exactly what children's centres (not health visitors) do. I spent time in children's centres during professional training and know a little bit about this.
[C] In my extensive professional experience, the only parenting classes health professionals sometimes run are for young parents and unlikely now due to Covid
[D] There is an active and inclusive children's centre on Market Street in Torquay. The domestic abuse service even runs groups there. There is a children's centre at Bishop's Place in Paignton (around the corner from their launderette and community soda fountain)
[E] Most people never see a health visitor other than in clinic. Maybe that is why she doesn't understand their role and thinks they spend rest of their time (when not visiting Wilby and referring her to SS and for portage - literally can't think who else is involved with W to have done that) running courses and not visiting all the newborns that keep interrupting their otherwise quiet lives...
She needs an in-depth psychological assessment, PAMS assessment, and parenting assessment all of her own. Then she can attend Webster Stratton as a special form.of punishment for her own
crappy parenting. After that, I recommend she does Triple P and Triple P for Teenagers.
Rach, you utter
twit, look up Torbay FIS before your next fantasy meeting broadcast and see if you can't come up with a more convincing lie.
Oh,
duck me, no. She really has wound me up. I honestly think she needs to show us her policies, procedures, and insurance that would cover this. Complaints, safeguarding, confidentiality, governance... recognise any of them or are they up there with PAYE and VAT, Rach?
Edited as it was all in bold and I don't want to give fusty fanny the satisfaction of thinking I'm that bothered by her.
