BEARs Training Pilot in Wales, A Brilliant Result for Early Years Practice

We’ve loved seeing the BEARs, Building Early Attuned Relationships, pilot training come to life across Wales, and even more so, seeing the response to it.

In the final months of 2025, the Parent Infant Foundation team travelled to all seven regions in Wales, delivering the pilot to professionals across health, education, social care and the third sector. In total, 172 participants took part.

Parent Infant Foundation shared the feedback results from the pilot, and they’re genuinely encouraging. 99% of attendees said they would recommend the training to colleagues, and 99% left the training very or somewhat aware of the key things to consider when observing and supporting parent infant relationships.
