The Newborn Behavioural Observations (NBO) training course is designed for practitioners working with families and newborns wanting to learn about baby behaviour, and reading baby signals and cues.
Research has shown this promotes positive interactions, increases parental confidence in caregiving, and practitioners’ knowledge and confidence.
The NBO is recommended in the National Health Visiting Service Specification, 2014/15, NHS England, and the NBAS in the Healthy Child Programme, DH, 2009.
CPD is issued by The Brazelton Centre UK, therefore consent to share your details is necessary.
