It’s aim is to teach a range of local healthcare professionals (and therefore parents) appropriate feeding techniques for babies with unrepaired cleft lip and palates.

Can’t take my eyes off you
OK, so let’s be honest, being stared at isn’t great and when someone stares, it is, above all, an invasion of privacy.

Over the 3 sessions they will explore what it means to have their say and learn how to ensure their voice is heard in a positive way.

CLAPA Out & About in Scotland
Well it’s a few weeks since I last posted in the blog and as usual it has been busy. On 31st July we had our first 8 and unders Family Day. I set off and headed to Blair Drummond, near Stirling in time to get set up and meet the families for 12pm at Briarlands Farm Park. We had 72 people registered to attend and, whether it was because the sun was shining in the morning, 69 people number turned up! (Needless to say it didn’t stay sunny or dry all day!). What a fantastic day with children building sandcastles, playing on go karts, feeding the animals, taking part in the tractor ride and several families went strawberry picking :)
