In April 2010, the Infant feeding coordination post in the Community was filled after a period when there was no-one in post. Since April work has been underway to re-assess action plans and deliver breastfeeding support and service activities accordingly.
Extensive contact has been made with the 18 Children’s Centres in the city to identify champions both strategically as well as operationally, building on previous work undertaken jointly with the Children’s Centres in Wolverhampton.
A training needs analysis is underway within the PCT and Children’s Centres and a training programme developed to reflect the needs of recently employed and newly qualified staff (from July 2010) and an appropriate programme for other staff developed
11 Health Visitor Support Workers have been recruited since April 2010 and are undergoing training of which breastfeeding training is a key part.
