Oral Health eLearning for Early Years Settings

At least 1 in 4 five year olds in Warwickshire have tooth decay when they start school.

Warwickshire County Council is currently finalising a FREE eLearning course, designed for all early years settings and those who work with children aged 0-5 years.

The aim is to give early years workers the knowledge, skills and confidence to share important oral health information with the young children and parents they work with.

Once the course is completed, learners will have access to a Warwickshire Early Years Oral Health Resource Pack which will provide them with various resources to support oral health promotion/campaigns within their early years settings.

This eLearning course is expected to be launched near to half-term.
