FUTURE EVENTS

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.
