SUMMARY:Recognising and Responding to Bullying Behaviours
DESCRIPTION:A Children in Wales one-day course \n  \nEvidence and practice shows that bullying affects the emotional well-being and mental health of children and young people. Research has identified that:  \n – Over 30% of Childline callers report that they have experienced bullying  – 2/3 of young carers are bullied at school  – “Bullying was a common theme\, with nearly every group citing this as a reason for non-attendance” (National Behaviour and Attendance Review 2009) – 18% of pupils in Year 6\, falling to 11% in Year 10\, admit to bullying other pupils   (All Wales Survey of Bullying in Schools 2009) \n  \nReducing bullying incidents is undoubtedly a shared objective between children\, young people\, professionals and practitioners alike\, however\, addressing issues raised by children and young people can often prove challenging and\, in some instances\, we may feel unable to resolve conflict.    \n  \nIn order to address issues around bullying it is vital that professionals and practitioners\, who work with children and young people\, have a shared understanding of what determines bullying behavior\, and feel confident in applying consistent approaches to prevent and tackle bullying. \n  \nThis one day course will provide an overview of bullying\, addressing the following areas:  \n – Understanding bullying and the complexity of behaviours that arise through bullying incidents – Recognising when bullying may be occurring – Responding effectively to reports of bullying – Identifying strategies to prevent bullying behaviours \n  \nCOST: \nMembers £115 \nNon-members £135 \nBook via the Children in Wales website.

SUMMARY:Parents' Week Conference: Engaging parents in family and parenting support services
DESCRIPTION:Children in Wales’ Parents’ Week Conference this year will be around the theme of engaging parents in family and parenting support services.  \nFamily and parenting support services provided by Flying Start\, Families First and through other funding streams are increasingly being challenged to extend their reach to vulnerable families. The focus of the event will be on research evidence around engaging families and practical examples of what different areas are doing to successfully engage families. It is hoped that the event will increase delegates understanding and give them the opportunity to consider their own policy and practice alongside sharing experiences and best practice.   \n    \nWho should attend? \nProfessionals providing family and parenting support and anyone with a policy lead or interest in family and parenting support. \n     \nConfirmed Speakers: \nAlison Prowle\, Senior Lecturer Early Childhood\, University of Worcester \nAlison has extensive experience of early years provision and family interventions as an academic\, a front-line Practitioner and a Senior Manager in local government.

Positive parenting techniques have a major contribution to make in protecting the life chances of children with early behavioural problems. The Centre for Mental Health has completed a number of reports investigating the cost effectiveness of parenting programmes and the barriers and facilitators shaping the effectiveness of programmes for parents and children in real life settings. Lorraine will be talking about this work as well as some of the follow-up projects supporting frontline practice. \n     \nProfessor Judy Hutchings OBE\, Director of the Centre for Evidence Based Early Intervention (CEBEI)\, Bangor University  \nProfessor Judy Hutchings has worked in North Wales since 1973\, for many years as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist\, working with children with significant behavioural difficulties. She undertakes research with referred children and their families and early preventive work with parents\, children and teachers.
