Sleep Success Programme

If you're a parent or carer with a child aged 12 months or older and have concerns about their sleep, this programme is here to help. You can join three weekly group sessions, either online or in person. There's also the chance to drop in or have a friendly phone chat with one of our trained family hub engagement practitioners if you'd like extra support.


What to Expect:
We will cover a range of topics, including:

  • Helpful bedtime routines (from toddlers to teenagers)
  • How to keep a sleep diary
  • Help to dig deeper and find out what might be causing your child’s sleep problems
These sessions are open to all parents and carers in Barnsley. Some advice is tailored for children with special educational needs, but most of the information is suitable for everyone. If you need extra help for a child with additional needs, please contact your health visitor or GP.

How to book?
Please note, the sessions are adults only. We would appreciate if you could book a space for each adult atending.
