BROMSGROVE'S social services staff said "Buenos Dias" when they welcomed visitors from Spain.

Staff from Mancomunitat La Plana, in Spain, paid a visit to The Birches Family Centre, in New Road, on Monday, to see how it's done in the town.

Rosa Morales, co-ordinator of social services, came to the area with two social workers, a social educator and a family worker after being impressed with the set-up when she first visited last Christmas.

She said: "I'm bringing my colleagues as I want to give the team the same chance of experiencing and learning from the techniques and expertise of Worcestershire County Council as I had during my first visit."

The guests also visited Worcestershire Royal Hospital and Age Concern and Extra Care Housing in Evesham.
