Children and Young People Committee
Inquiry into Children’s Oral Health
Evidence
from Baglan Education and Training Centre
Dear Christine,
I have worked with the Swansea Neath Port Talbot team on many occasions in my role as Language and Play co-ordinator. I work with children 0-3 and their parents. The team have come in to many of our sessions and work with parents, this I feel has a direct impact on young children’s oral health routines. It has been a great success in our area. I wrote a six week Cooking and Play programme in response to the poor diet and dental issue I was encountering in my role working with playgroups etc. and have incorporated the Designed to Smile team in to the final session on sugars and oral hygiene. The pilot finished in July and I must say worked extremely well . I worked with the dietician for Bro Morgannwg and the Healthy Schools team within Neath Port Talbot to ensure continuity. I am also now on the committee involved with the Healthy Pre Schools Award that will be starting this term and hope to again utilize the expertise of the Designed to Smile team.
I hope this is useful information for you. Any further information you require please do not hesitate to contact me,
Regards
Helen Wright
