GETTING TO GRIPS WITH CHILDREN AND FAMILY POLICY IN WALES


23 June 2016, Cardiff -  

'Getting to Grips' is a one day course, which develops the themes of our highly successful 'Bigger Picture' half day workshops we delivered across Wales in December and January, through funding from the Welsh Government. The course will support people from a wide range of organisations to understand the distinctive Welsh lesiglative and policy framework for children and families, that has developed as a result of increasing devolution from Westminster.

The training will consider current Welsh legislation around children and families, Welsh Government policy and strategies on issues including how children's rights are being addressed through  initiatives on child poverty, health, social care and education. The course will explore Welsh government programmes including Families First, Flying Start, Communities First and Integrated Family Support considering the roles and priorities of different sectors involved in delivering these, and the challenges faced by everyone.

Play Wales Latest Edition: The importance of Risk

Take a look at Play Wales latest edition of their news/briefing.  It is full of helpful and challenging articles about play and risk.

Concerns over health & safety and behaviour have been raised in the Powys Play Sufficiency Assessment.  It means that children are not accessing their right to play.  

What can we, as adults, do about this?  Have your say and lets discuss this.  Talk to children. Listen to children.

Join in with the debate.
