Salt Awareness Week 13- 19th May 2024

Posted on by

13th-19th May is Salt Awareness Week

Regularly eating too much salt can increase our risk of developing high blood pressure. High blood pressure is the main cause of strokes, and a major cause of heart attacks, the two biggest causes of death around the world.   

Reducing salt in our diets is a quick and effective way to reduce our blood pressure and improve our health. We often don’t realise just how much salt we are eating because most of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy.

A wide range of free 30 min nutrition webinars for all life stages and healthy recipe videos are available.

Incredible Years Facilitator Training

Posted on by

This information is for the ‘Basic’ Parent Group Leader Training. Participants will be trained to deliver any one of three programmes: the Basic Parent program (for parents of children aged 2 – 8); the School Readiness programme; and the Toddler Programme [The ‘home coaching’ manual can also be utilised by group leaders if delivering the 1:1 home coaching programme].

The workshop for the Incredible Years® Basic Parent Group Leader Training (to cover toddlers, preschool and school aged children from 2 years up to age 8) is an accredited training which is three full days. The programme is designed to promote positive strategies and to assist parents in managing children’s behaviour problems. This intervention programme is used by various professionals (therapists and parent educators from psychology, social work, teaching and education, nursing and psychiatry) who work with families of young children.
The programme topics include: play; helping children learn; using positive reinforcement; effective limit setting including establishing effective rules and routines; how to ignore inappropriate behaviour; and using the Time Out approach as a non-violent discipline approach; problem solving; effective communication skills; and supporting children’s education. Group therapy process skills for group leaders such as empowering parents, collaborating, dealing with resistance, confronting and teaching, supporting and advocating for parents will all be covered. Participants will learn effective parent group leader skills and feel confident to deliver the programme to parents thereafter.

#LookCloser learning programme on child exploitation and abuse

Posted on by

We’re delighted to invite you to join us for our latest #LookCloser programme of learning. We have developed our sessions based on learning from The Children’s Society and wider partners to tackle the issues of child exploitation and abuse.

All sessions are free of charge and delivered on Microsoft Teams Live which means:
– Interaction with the presenters and participants will be limited
– There will however, be a Q&A function
– We will use tools such as Menti to provide opportunities for engagement and discussion.

The timetable below has links to each learning event on Ticket Tailor, where you can book on to as few or as many events as you please. All of our sessions have been designed for various professional audiences, so please share these events with anyone you think would benefit from attending.

If you have any questions about our learning events, please contact prevention@childrenssociety.org.uk
