Coming
Soon to Support You: Community Consultants in Parenting
Fourteen
local parents attended an awards ceremony on 3rd March
to celebrate their completion of an intensive course
in Community Consultancy.
Counsellor
Julia Fletcher, Chair of Lewisham Council’s
Children and Young People’s Panel, praised the
new consultants for their enthusiasm and commitment
and spoke of the exciting opportunity they represent
for Lewisham’s communities.
The
accredited course, run by Parenting UK, focused on
developing skills in mentoring, counselling, advice,
communications and training others.
The
consultants bring a wide range of expertise to their
roles, including support for young carers, parents
of children with special educational needs, GLBT (gay,
lesbian, bisexual and transgender) parents and those
suffering domestic abuse.
