Welcome to the 81^st edition of our information bulletin, ‘FYI’ (For Your Information).

Download Issue 81 – 28 April 2022

You will see inside a number of training and awareness sessions listed on a wide range of issues.  They are included in chronological order and the closer to the start of ‘FYI’ the sooner the session will take place.

You will also see a great range of opportunities for parents and carers to engage with services, so, if you work with parents or carers, please share these with your families.

Once again, we have added a page to help you share ‘FYI’ on social media, so go to page 41 to follow these instructions. We have also attached a copy of ‘FYI’ to our original newsletter cover e-mail to try and make it easier for you to access.

We hope you will find useful information in ‘FYI’ – See you for the next edition!

Thank you to those who took the time out to complete our survey to evaluate ‘FYI’ – We will share the evaluation report once all the feedback is collated.

We always encourage you to share ‘FYI’ with your colleagues and families with whom you work.  Amongst the many ways you can do this is to share across your contacts on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, through your organisation’s page. We have added a step-by-step guide on how to do this on Page 3.

Our next edition will be in 3 weeks (Thursday 28^th April), due to the Easter break, so please submit all information by 26^th April.

In the meantime, have a well-earned break if you can. (Chocolate optional!)
