Southern Area FYI Newsletter issue 84
Welcome to the 84th edition of our information bulletin, ‘FYI’ (For Your Information).
We need your assistance! As page 3 states, we are currently putting the finishing touches to our Summer Activities Directory and will be sending it to you very soon. We need this to get into the hands of families, practitioners and all our contacts, as now is the time to sign up for local activities. Please share this valuable resource as widely and as soon as possible. Instructions on how to share it and ‘FYI’ via social media can be found on page 37.
In the next edition we will share the findings of our recent survey on this newsletter. Once again, thanks to all those who responded and told us how you view ‘FYI’. We are already making positive changes to our e-bulletin on the back of your feedback!

Rise & Shine Preschool Newsletter
Welcome to the summer edition of the RISE NI NHSCT Preschool newsletter! It’s hard to believe that we are coming towards the end of the school year and that the summer holidays are almost here. The ‘holidays’ will hopefully feel a bit more ‘normal’ this year, as COVID restrictions in the community have relaxed, meaning we are all able to spend more time with family and friends… not to mention travel to places close to home and further afield! No matter how you spend the ‘holidays’, one thing is certain, July and August will fly by and you will soon be celebrating your little one’s first day at Primary School! This edition of RISE & Shine will focus on what you, as parents/carers/families can do to promote your child’s readiness for school over the summer months. We hope you have an action packed and fun-filled summer trying out some of our suggested activities.

Look, Say, Sing Play: The NSPCC’s Behaviour Change Campaign
Tuesday 14th June 2022, 9.30 – 11.00 am
Attendees will be briefed on the NSPCC’s ‘Look, Say, Sing, Play’ (LSSP) behaviour change campaign, ahead of the launch in Northern Ireland later this year. LSSP is focused on improving interactions between parents and their babies, and is based on the serve and return metaphor, Alberta Family Wellness Project.
The seminar will provide the opportunity to hear about the research behind the campaign, the LSSP resources, activity posters, flashcards, and details on the learning emerging from the process evaluation which is being undertaken by the Institute of Health Visiting and the School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences at Newcastle University (report to be published summer 2022).
For further information, please see the attached flyer.
To register, please contact ross.walmsley@nspcc.org.uk with attendee name, job title and email address. A Zoom link will follow.
