  • Our mission, vision and ethos
  • The vital role of a home visiting volunteer
  • Safeguarding, confidentiality, trust and boundaries
  • Listening well
  • Types of support, coaching and mentoring
  • Mental health awareness
  • Bump to Baby – specific support for pregnant women and new mums
  • Family challenges, signposting and local services
  • What to expect from Home-Start

“The prep course is excellent, very informative and reassuring about my role as a volunteer”

“…professional, interesting, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it.”
