Volunteering with Home-Start Kirkcaldy

All our Home-Start volunteers must be a parent or have parenting experience.

Before being matched to a family, all our volunteers attend a preparation course.

Topics included on the preparation course include -

• Introduction to Home-Start

• The role of the Home-Visiting Volunteer

• Values & Attitudes

• Listening & Communication

• Supporting Parents

• Meeting the Needs of Children

• Protecting & Safeguarding Children & Vulnerable Adults

• Confidentiality

The course is a mixture of online learning in your own time with four short face-to-face group sessions.

If you don't have access to a computer/tablet please don't let that put you off - get in touch for a chat and we can help you out.
