Foster care programme

 
Jean Holt prepared a major training programme for this Autumn, for the directors of Orphanages and Children’s Shelters, for foster carers and for the staff at the Abandoned Babies Home. Geoff Wright gave the training for directors with Jean and staff from North Yorkshire County Council were also in the training team.
All this happened at the same time as a major publicity campaign to recruit foster families in Gomel Region .There were radio and TV programmes; an ad on the back of a trolleybus and a leaflet and newspaper which were widely distributed.
Also in October Sue Carlyon, who has been instrumental in bringing children from Zhuravichi to Britain to help their development, gave training course in symbol communication in Gomel, and a physiotherapist from Devon visited Zhuravichi.
