Working with young children is acknowledged as being challenging both physically and psychologically. Even so, Early Years Educators demonstrate very high commitment to the children in their care. However, you cannot pour from an empty cup, and in this Keynote Mary explains the impact of stress on our lives, and looks at how Educators can support their own wellbeing and avoid burnout. Participants will also have the opportunity to attend 2 of 3 workshops, details of all workshops are on page 2.

Download Infographic Report

The Southern Area Locality Planning Team have produced an Infographic to report on the impact of this year’s School Uniform Recycling Toolkit. This free resource was produced to provide a user friendly, free, practical guide for schools and community groups to use in order to hold a successful school uniform recycling scheme. We provided checklists for discussions, templates to use, tips which shared good practice, and evaluation forms which we collated to produce individual reports for each initiative.

11 schools and groups used the Toolkit during 2023 and send completed feedback forms to demonstrate the effectiveness of the resource.

We had around 1,250 items donated totalling a value of over £8,000. These items were successfully recycled across the Southern area.

If your school or group is interested in finding out more about this free resource, and how to avail of our support in 2024, please contact Darren  Curtis at localityplanning@ci-ni.org.uk

The CYPSP brings together all services and organisations who aim to improve outcomes for children and young people. There are 6 Locality Planning Groups across the Southern Area (3 in ABC Council area) who meet and share information as well as identify actions based on local priorities.

To help support families, the Southern Area Locality Development Team have produced a School Uniform Recycling Toolkit which is a FREE resource for any school to use to help set up a recycling scheme. 

This includes practical help, such as checklists for discussions, timeline and templates for flyers, inventories and evaluations, as well as link to other successful initiatives. 

This resource can be adapted for use by community organisations too.

Futureproof, delivering the PHA-funded Youth Engagement Service (YES), were recently invited by New-Bridge Integrated College to deliver an information session to Year 11 pupils. The session covered issues affecting young people and where to access appropriate help and support. One resource the young people were signposted to was the Youth Wellness Web, an online resource, funded and created by CYPSP in partnership with young people, to provide a clear and quality-assured source of information on children and young people’s emotional wellbeing and mental health. All attendees were also provided with an information sheet on how to access key services such as Text-A-Nurse, Childline and Lifeline.
