NEW MUMS MOST WELCOME

May Outing: What a relaxing day! The sun shone on our picnic by the beach at Rosebud, then it was offto the Peninsula Springs for an afternoon of total relaxation. Natalie and Judy came prepared with theircreams and scrubbers for the steam room, the cold plunge pool felt wonderful after the sauna and theview from the pool at the very top of the hill, was stunning. We returned to IOE an hour late - testimony tohow much we enjoyed the day. Also read about our March outing Cruisin' Down The Yarra

Program News

Sickness - stop the spreadHelp us stop the spread of germs. If your children are unwell please don't send them to program oractivities. Similarily we expect support workers to cancel shifts if they are unwell.Changes to plans can be inconvenient, we know, but if we try to contain sickness at home it will stop thespread to other participants,workers and the community in general. Many IOE participants are particularlyvulnerable to respiratory infection, so in winter it is important to be especially diligent. We wouldappreciate if you could notify us of any cancellation asap - we understand this is not always possible - togive time to fill shifts and cancelled places. Thanks for your cooperation.

Have a Complaint - let us know!Balanced Options has been conducting sessions at the variouspost school sites, talking to the young adults about how they canmake a complaint if they are unhappy or have issues with anyaspects of IOE programs or people. This is a crucial way ofempowering people, allowing them to know that their opinionsand feelings are valued.

IOE is very open to hearing from anyone who has a complaint in regard to its procedures, services,programs and personnel. Complaints let us know what is not working and help to maintain and improvethe state of all aspects of the agency The IOE Complaints Procedure and Complaint Forms, in a varietyof formats, are readily available on the website on the Contact Us and Policies and Procedures andMember Forms and Admin pages. If you are unhappy with something - let us know!

Overseas tripsIOE is committed to continuing to provide travel opportunities for participants. Through the sharing ofsupport staff and volunteers, young people have been able to experience the sights and cultures of theworld - memories that will last a lifetime and would be totally financially out of the reach of many ifpursued through external travel organisations. This year small groups have headed off to exploreEngland and Paris, Las Vegas and, closer to home, Central Australia. Later in the year New Zealand willbe the destination for another two groups. Keep a watch on the website for postings of reports and picsfrom these amazing trips.Planning for 2016 is underway for three separate trips to USA - theme parks in Orlando, Wrestlemania inTexas and the bright lights of Las Vegas - plus trips to Italy, Fiji and Japan. Details of these will beavailable soon.If you would like to find out more about travel opportunities with IOE or have ideas for future trips pleasecontact Erin erin.weegberg@ioe.org.auBelow: our travelers soaking up the history of England
