My Home Life England Bitesize Programme (Online)

Each month your group will discuss a framework developed by My Home Life, using videos and discussion to support you as a leader. You will bring your own experiences and ideas to the session, working with people who do the same job as you.

Led by your facilitator you will explore ideas, hints and practical tips to try out, thinking about how what you’ve heard could support you in evidencing quality to others. Also a chance to build new networks in a confidential setting.

You will receive a resource pack to support you.
