1. Smokefree Children’s Centres A whole organisation approach Andrea Dickens Deputy Director, Smokefree South West Lesley Thomas Public Health Programme Manager (Tobacco Control), Devon County Council A

2. Why this project? The whole organisation approach is shown to work in schools and organisations, so by inference, should work in CC There was a lack of quality brief advice training available for non-clinical staff CC work with ‘targeted’ families so reach the target population for smoking cessation and the smokefree homes messages Devon’s CC Alliance and Smokefree South West were keen to promote SF via CC A

3. Aims To establish and maintain a smokefree site To ensure all service users know the best way to quit smoking, when they are ready To promote smokefree homes. A

4. What were the outputs? SF policy Children’s Centres adopt SF sites SF signage erected on CC sites Every opportunity is used by all staff to raise the issue of smoking with service users Referrals are made directly to the Devon SSS by CC staff CC staff are confident in requesting a smokefreeroom in client’s homes and do so A
