TinyLearners Award Programme is funded and supported by the Department of Education NI to enhance the skills and training of our professionals in schools across NI, strengthening the links between health and education and the programme enables educational settings to provide a learning experience that works for their setting and pupils who have been born pre-term and their families, creating a supportive culture and awareness of their birth story and potential support needs throughout their educational journey.  (Photo: Jim McCafferty Photography)
