Flowchart – Toilet Training
At ERIC, we are passionate about increasing early intervention into childhood continence problems and promoting excellence in continence care.
The following resources can be used during a child’s early years to help identify any problems, to signpost sources of help and information:
- Baby and toddler poo - what to expect
- ERIC's information about potty training
- Toilets and school readiness - designed to be given out at the point of school entry as part of the information packs distributed by the School Nursing Service.
