Virtual baby project
This project aims to provide young people with a simulated experience of the demands and responsibilities of parenthood/caring for a young child. We have experience of delivering this project to young people aged 13-19 both male and female including young people with special educational needs.
Young people can also take part in a homecare period, where the young person has to care for the virtual baby for a 24-72 hour period. This homecare period can be delivered through a residential at an additional cost. This can be delivered countywide and generally delivered over 6-12 weeks (approx. 48-72 hours) depending on the needs of the group.
