Ms Ger Kenny:

Can I make just one other point? Ms O'Mahony mentioned trainees. Two years ago, PLAN had a speaker for its parent talks and just before everyone came in on Zoom, I happened to mention my first baby and my club, the Little Seeds Arch Club. The speaker said that she had trainee OTs who were looking to work in such a club environment. This year we actually had 12 students who came out and worked for a number of weeks with our children. They were glad of the experience and we were glad of their knowledge. I am hoping to have speech and language therapist trainees as well. Getting trainee psychologists is my next move so I am open to any contacts or help. It works for the club and it works for the students as well. It works both ways.
