Some lovely comments from our Circle of Security (C-osp) programme in Enniskillen. “This was an amazing programme. Helped me identify my struggles and pay more attention in my children’s needs. All the strategies are helping me a lot & I’m feeling more confident’

Don't forget to keep up to date with childhood vaccinations. If unsure check your red book & speak with your GP or HV. Every hero needs a shield, don't forget to give your child theirs! #surestartworks

With our own @cscsreviewNI report coming out soon we would do well to pay attention to the lack of prioritisation given to a similar review in England.We MUST look at the long-term consequences & costs of our actions & inaction. The current paralysis in NI is costing our children
