- opportunity to reflect on the knowledge, skills and values
- a real opportunity to talk to practitioners and learn about their job role(s)

Our vision is to ensure we work in a culture in which we are all able to develop our expertise and share excellent practice. What we offer our volunteers with early help:
- good understanding of our strength in relationships practice model
- access to on-line training courses to develop your skills and knowledge
- opportunities to observe outstanding practice
- chance to meet the teams and understand the structure of children and family service and the different roles
