CYP: Preventative Health, Welfare and Advocacy
Helping to lead and advance practice with children, young people and families
A message to our Forum members
We would like to apologise to our members for the prolonged lack of communication from the CYP Preventative Health, Welfare and Advocacy Forum Steering Group.
Unfortunately, a technical issue with the RCN communication platform has affected our ability to share updates and engage with members. We recognise the importance of keeping you informed and connected, and we are sorry for any frustration this may have caused.
The issue is now being addressed, and we look forward to reconnecting with members and sharing updates on the work of the Forum very soon. Thank you for your patience.
Becky King and Jamie Cargill, on behalf of the CYP Preventative Health, Welfare and Advocacy Forum Steering Committee
