Parenting overseas can feel hard. You may be far from family, friends, or the support you’re used to. That’s why CHAT HV is back. It gives you easy, friendly access to a UK Health Visitor, even when you’re living abroad.
What is CHAT HV?
CHAT HV is a simple online chat where you can talk to a trained Health Visitor. You can ask questions about sleep, feeding, crying, behaviour, or anything that’s worrying you. Nothing is too small.
We are blessed with some fantastic trails in our area of Germany. Though the weather may stay cold in the next week or so it should also stay dry.
The English language version of the Tutoburger wald website is a fantastic tool for finding hikes and days out in our part of Germany. Not far from us we have the low mountains of the Tutoburg forest and the Egge mountains.
If you wanted to get started on the local trails here are some routes for hiking.
Need help finding activities for the kids? Germany is full of fantastic family friendly places to visit. Here are some Google Maps to help you pick out things to do that suit your kids the best.
Where to go with kids: Zoos parks, theme parks and much more on this map.
A reminder to ALL Personnel with British Passports to check their Issue/Expiry dates.
Up until 2018 it was sometimes the case that a UK passport was issued with an expiry date in excess of the 10 year validity period, in some cases 1 years and 9 months. There are reported cases of the EU borders not accepting anything in excess of 10 years from date of issue.
All personnel should check passports in relation to 10 years validity against the date of issue of the passport NOT the stated expiry date. Passports issued after 2018 are valid for exactly 10 years.
Any queries to be directed to your Unit HR Admin in the fist instance.
