About the Jigsaw Workshops
The Jigsaw Workshops are being organised in response to the Children in Wales Preventing Bullying Behaviour Conference in 2013, where delegates highlighted their wish to learn more about practical examples being delivered in the field.
The workshops will promote the establishment of a shared understanding of bullying, that is underpinned by the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, together with effective monitoring and recording of bullying incidents and trends.
Each workshop will be based around four separate themes, with each one addressing bullying behaviour, and together they establish a holistic and stronger approach. The workshops will be designed to provide attendees with the opportunity to network and bring to the fore their ideas and main concerns with regards to bullying.
Attendees will enjoy two 90 minute workshops based on the theme of the day. There will be allocated exhibition space for delegates and presenters to display the work of their projects and to share practice - this will need to be booked in advance.
Please be aware that there is a maximum limit of 40 attendees for each event (cancellations will be charged in FULL).
Following the event, all presentations and feedback will be available on the Children in Wales website, ensuring easy access to information at all times.

More About the Themes
|
Identifying and Understanding Bullying - Tuesday, 6 May 2014, Rivermead Centre, Rogerstone
Discover more about identifying and understanding bullying behaviours by distinguishing between conflict and bullying, which will help to respond appropriately to incidents. Passing on this knowledge to children and young people can help them to manage their thoughts, feelings and responses.
These workshops will be facilitated by Rachel Beddoe, Cardiff Against Bullying and
Penny Steinhauer, EyePat

Prevention- Tuesday, 1 July 2014, Carmarthen area
What measures can be put in place to prevent bullying behaviours amongst children and young people? We will look at the positive effect of recording incidents, monitoring trends, undertaking and acting on research and adopting effective behaviour policies that, when put into practice, create safer environments.
These workshops will be facilitated by Vikki Butler, Barnardo's Cymru

Intervention and Support - Wednesday, 15 October 2014, Porthcawl area
Get ready for Anti Bullying Week 2014! We will be inviting projects, schools and organisations to come along and share their practices around intervention and support. Discover what skills, tools, training and resources can be drawn upon to take back to your school, youth club, play centre and community settings.

Attitudes - Wednesday, 11 February 2015, Llandudno area
Raising awareness around the protected characteristics of the Equality Act 2010 and additional emerging themes (alternative sub cultures, mate crime, cyber bullying). We hope to portray the importance of understanding our children and young people and all the complexities they bring with them into shared settings, and the impact this has on bullying. This will better inform us of how we can best help and support children and young people who have difficulty with bullying.
Additionally, we will discuss the importance of building resilience to equip children and young people with essential life skills, to assist them in identifying solutions to problems and learn to communicate their thoughts and feelings.
These workshops will be facilitated by Matthew Burns, Headlands School, Penarth
