Continue your professional development with our Working with children: From pre-pregnancy to late adolescence course
This two-day overview of child health, from pre-pregnancy through to late adolescence, considering a variety of the health issues that practitioners will face when working with this cohort, with a particular emphasis on gut health, immune function and brain health. It will also consider the practicality and legality of working with this age group, and give consideration to safe guarding. Practitioners will learn about appropriate supplementation and supplement companies that offer ranges for the under 18’s. There will be plenty of case studies to support theory into practice, as well as recorded Q&A sessions, to allow attendees to gain clarity on topics discussed.
The focus of this course is to understand the nutritional requirements of children, from conception through to the end of adolescence. The course will provide an overview of the nutritional requirements of children at each stage of development and will focus on several key health concerns identified in this age group. Advice will be provided on diet and lifestyle interventions and supplementation. Information will be provided on considerations of working with children including safeguarding and BANT guidance.
