About the guides

This programme consists of four online guides that have been developed by NHS experts and parents using an evidence-based approach to increase the confidence of parents-to-be, mums, dads, parents-to-be, grandparents and carers.

The four online guides are FREE for Warwickshire residents using the access code BEAR.

All of the guides can be completed flexibly, at your own pace. Each of the guides’ modules takes around 15-20 minutes to complete. Each guide contains several modules.

There is a built-in voiceover feature available if you prefer to listen and your device supports audio.

These guides are designed to help build a strong relationship between you and your baby, infant or child.

Using the access code BEAR on registration will provide access to all four guides for a lifetime and it will never expire.

There’s also a selection of other online and face to face courses for parents, covering a wide range of topics.
