The National Children’s Bureau, commissioned by the SBNI, has today launched a training needs analysis survey for the children’s workforce as part of the NI Executive’s Online Safety Strategy Action Plan. Your input will help to understand the current experience of learning and development in online safety and identify future training and development needs.

We welcome responses from anyone in your organisation who works with and for children, young people and those who care for them. That could include frontline practitioners, managers, and senior leaders. There is no limit to responses from individual organisations and we are keen to hear from people in a variety of roles.

A very warm welcome to the first edition of the Family Support Hub Newsletter of 2025. We’re already into the second month and half term beckons. In this edition we have lots of information on events and services that can support families and young people. As always we have information on the fabulous Youth Wellness Web. This was co-designed and produced with young people for young people and has lots of really useful information tailored by age group. There is a section designed for teachers and parents to help them to support their young people and children. It’s an excellent example of the work of the Children and Young People’s Partnership, the same partnership the Family Support Hub Network sits within. As this newsletter is coming out towards the end of Children’s Mental Health Week, you will see we have provided a break down of the data our Information Team collate to evaluate the reach and use. Please take the time to have a look and please, please promote the Youth Wellness Web to your friends, colleagues and most importantly to any young people in your lives.

It is also packed full of information for parents/carers, early years, children & young people with a disability,  mental health and wellbeing advice,  Helplines and much more – make sure you download your copy now!
