1 The development of in-service and pre-service training for home visiting care with an emphasis on families whose children have developmental difficulties. Final Report to UNICEF on Phase 1 Team members: Professor Roy McConkey, Sue Macdonald, Professor Marlene Sinclair (University of Ulster) Neda Milevska Kostova, and Kornelija Cipusheva (Studorium) Velka Lukik (Macedonian Nurses Association) Overview The first mission had focussed on the Assessment of Needs and the development of a proposed Training Framework. Our second mission helped to develop the content of the training package and design the Training for Trainers workshop which was delivered on the third mission. This was also an opportunity to further align the package to local needs and to plan for its implementation across the country. Previous reports contain details of the work undertaken and the resources produced. This report focuses on the third mission. Aims of the Third Mission To present and review the proposed training materials that formed the Learning Together package. Its aim was to equip patronage nurses with the appropriate attitudes, knowledge and skills in order for them to advise and guide parents in their locality who have children with, or at risk of, developmental difficulties. To train chief patronage nurses from selected health centres across Macedonia as tutors of the Package which they would use to train patronage nurses in local health centres. To evaluate the model used for the Training for Trainers workshop. To make plans for the implementation of the package throughout Macedonia during 2014. Preparatory Work Prior to the mission, the team prepared the training materials which together formed the Training Package called Learning Together. It is built around key values or principles. Family-centred: The well-being of the family and the child are the focus for Patronage nurses within a holistic approach to care. Valuing every child: We aim to reduce the stigma associated with difference and promote the rights of all children as summarised in UN Declarations. Socially Inclusive: Our vision is of welcoming communities in which all persons are included and in which diversity is respected.
