Following Children in Wales’s first very successful half-day seminar in February 2016, this practical seminar aims to inform those working with children in the early years of the public health agenda and to consider the best ways to support local delivery.

Avril Hooper, Flying Start Manager at Cardiff Council, will chair the seminar and facilitate discussion during the day.

Speakers include:

Jane O’Kane, Professional Head of Health Visiting, Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board – Addressing the public health agenda

Liz Western, Senior Public Health Officer, Hywel Dda Public Health Team, Public Health Wales – Healthy Pre-School Scheme and addressing the challenge of childhood obesity

The format of the day will ensure that delegates have an opportunity to:

    Hear the experts’ presentations
    Ask questions of the presenters
    Discuss the topics in more detail and work in groups to consider implications for their practice

Feedback from participants at February’s Early Years and Accident Prevention Seminar was very positive, with all respondents reporting that they were satisfied with the organisation of the seminar. 98% felt that they were very or completely better informed and that, as a result of the seminar, they will do things differently in their job role.
