DESCRIPTION:Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is the leading\, known\, preventable intellectual disability and is only caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. International studies have suggested that 1 in 100 people may have FASD; other studies have suggested that 5 in 100 people have this condition\, meaning that there could statistically be between 8000 and 40\,000 babies born a year with this condition in the UK\, though it is unlikely that many would be diagnosed. Naturally these babies grow up and will require support throughout their lives. \nThis NewLink Wales course is aimed at people who are working with children and young people or adults with mental health problems/disabilities within any setting. By the end of the course\, participants will be able to identify the causes of FASD and explore the long term effects of FASD on young people and adults. They will also be able to explain the difference between FAS (Foetal Alcohol Syndrome) and FASD. In addition\, participants will be able to discuss the behaviours and needs of someone with FASD throughout their different life stages and be able to relate FASD development to the style of support and type of work being delivered. \nVoluntary Sector £135.00\, Statutory Sector £145.00 \nTo book onto the course or for further information\, contact NewLink Wales on Telephone: 029 2052 9002 or email info@newlinkwales.org.uk or visit www.newlinkwales.org.uk URL:https://c3sc.org.uk/event-single/prenatal-alcohol-exposure-and-the-lifelong-effects-are-we-really-doing-enough/ LOCATION:Cardiff\, Cardiff CATEGORIES:Training END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20140912T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20140912T150000 DTSTAMP:20260403T213335 CREATED:20140912T090000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140912T090000Z UID:46887-1410516000-1410534000@c3sc.org.uk SUMMARY:C3SC Training: Sports Leadership DESCRIPTION:This course is for anyone who wishes to develop their sport leadership skills.

Various reasons can prevent people from doing so. As a facilitator you want all participants to feel that they were able to make a worthwhile contribution.  Very often more is required than just saying ‘feel free’ to speak up\, or saying ‘what do you think?’ \nThe course has lots of practical tips for how to encourage people to say what is on their minds. \nSimilarly some people are excluded from events (for example disabled people\, older people and people from ethnic minorities) because their different needs are not taken into account in how the meeting is run. \nThe course will give you lots of ideas about how to organise and run accessible and inclusive meetings in ways that enable all the people present to be involved\, so that meetings are more creative\, productive and enjoyable.  \nWho should attend? \nIf you facilitate or chair meetings\, involvement events\, discussion or focus groups\, seminars or workshops where it is important that participants do some or most of the talking\, and wish to learn how to maximise people’s contribution\, this course is for you. \n  \nFind out more on the Diverse Cymru website.
