Training conducted directly within BPF
An training schedule is made for direct training workshops. 6 days training workshop is usually prepared for 1-4 participants for assessment of 12 children among age group (0-16) years. Days depend on number of participants and age of children needed for assessment. Each participant should assess at least three children of different ages. The training runs from 9 am to 4 pm. Each day four children of different ages are assessed by the participants. On the 1st and 2nd day basic underlying concepts and procedures of the tool are discussed. These include history-taking, calculation of age (chronological and corrected), ascertainment of nutritional status, ie, wasting and stunting (optional), components of the tool (forms, scoring, summary sheets), equipment. Few sample videos are also shown. Hands-on assessment of children usually starts from the 3rd day. For evaluation by the trainers, each trainee is asked to assess one child. Rapport building with the child and family; and procedures of assessment are observed and evaluated by the trainer. On the last day certificates are given to each successful participant.
