Ian Smith trains as a CLAPA parent contact...
Ian attended a weekend training course in October 2012 to become a CLAPA parent contact. Ian was very keen to be in a position to help other parents going through what we had experienced and found both the course and meeting other parents who also attended very interesting and informative.

A cleft nurse from the Trent Cleft Lip and Palate Service team will now attend each monthly meet up.
