Paediatric First Aid

Our North West carers recently took part in a three day Paediatric First Aid Course delivered by Trevor from abc North West Ltd. Feedback from the group included:

“Very good and rewarding” – Pat,

“I feel confident to be able to cope in a life or death situation” – Jackie,

“Very interesting, good to recap skills” – Jo

The North West team are currently in the process of organising the next Paediatric Course for carers to take place in 2012 … please watch this space!

North West is here to help

Welcome to Orange Grove in North West. The team here in Ellesmere Port is dedicated to ensuring that all our foster Carers have the support they need and the children they are caring for have the very best opportunities to grow and develop in a safe family environment.

This year we have a full programme of events for our Carers with training on Life Story Work, Secondary Trauma, Self Harm, Safeguarding and much more, being delivered at our monthly forum meetings along with outings and fun events. We will also be out and about promoting our service and meeting prospective Foster Carers, so if you have ever thought of becoming a Carer, why not call us and see what Fostering is all about.

The office is open Monday to Friday from 9.00am to 5.00pm, so if you are in the area, come in and have a cup of coffee.

Over the next 12 months we will be using this web page to keep you up to date on events and news from the North West region, so bookmark this page and keep in touch.
