Hello eveyone
I am a studnet Health Visitor, I am completeing a project on how Health Visitors can support parents who have a learning disability. I would love to hear your views and experiences of this.
The project is going to be looking at parenting capacity, we use a stadadised model of assessment for all parents. All parents are assessed the same, we look at these areas:
Basic Care
Ensuring Safety
Emotional Warmth
Stimulation
Guidance and Boundaries
Stability
We do the assessments to see if anyone needs extra support and to make sure all children are well cared for.
I would love to hear you thoughts on this. What experiences you have had with being supported to be a parent. What you would like your Health Visitor to do for you. Anything you share with me would be great! I might use your comment in my work but just your words, I will not show your username or the name of the forum. Thanks for reading!
Take care and best wishes
Gina
