Listen up parents or should we?
The Centre for Community Child Health at Murdoch Uni wants to listen to you!
They know some parents find it difficult to feel comfortable with professional workers for lots of different reasons. So, their question is: ‘What do professional workers need to do differently to change this?’
They need advice from parents to help design a ‘how-to’ guide for workers on improving relationships between parents and workers.
Give them your feedback (via phone or Zoom) and receive a voucher.
