Is your child up to date with their vaccinations? Childhood infections like measles and whooping cough are rising.If your child isn’t vaccinated, they’re not protected. Childhood infections can cause serious illness, hospitalisation and life-long disabilities. It’s important that vaccines are given on time for the best protection, but if your child missed a vaccine, contact your GP surgery to catch up.

To have full protection, children sometimes need to have booster vaccines. Check their red book or speak to your GP surgery to see if they are missing any.

DART

Helping children and mothers after domestic abuse

Through Domestic Abuse, Recovering Together (DART™), children and mothers can talk to each other about domestic abuse, learn to communicate and rebuild their relationship.

The service, which has been recognised by the Home Office, also provides children and mothers with an opportunity to meet others who have lived through similar experiences.

How DART works

Over ten weeks, mothers and children aged 7-14 meet for a weekly two-hour group session.

Children and mothers work together for an hour at the start of the group, and then take part in activities in separate groups. At the end of each session, they join together again.

Women learn more about:

  • how domestic abuse happens
  • how it affects children.

They’ll also explore experiences and strategies that can be used as a parent.

Children take part in activities together that help them build their own

understanding of domestic abuse and how they’re feeling
