Due to social distancing and safer working practices, I am currently unavailable for face to face training, however I am taking bookings for September onward. (Providing social distancing can be upheld in the host venue)
However, please stay up to date with this blog for advice and guidance around children and adults wellbeing, personal development and compassionate communication in the workplace.
If you are looking for training or have overdue updates, the local (Stoke on Trent and Staffordshire) advice from the SC Board is to review your Safeguarding Training Policy. “you look at your Safeguarding Training policy and consider extending the dates until training becomes more accessible. However, we encourage you to demonstrate how you are keeping staff up to date with relevant safeguarding issues. How do you plan to disseminate news of changes within the local area? Is safeguarding being addressed weekly? If so, how? How is this planned for and monitored? For example, do you have a COVID-19 Safeguarding Contingency Plan in place and are all staff/volunteers confident in their understanding of this?”

Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips for rookie blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
Honestly, consistency is something I am working on. I could use some tips myself. 😬
I will immediately clutch your rss feed as I can not find your email subscription hyperlink or e-newsletter service. Do you’ve any? Please let me understand so that I could subscribe. Thanks.
Apologies, I keep missing comments. I don’t have a sign up area yet but I am hot on it.
I will keep you posted.
Thank you
Hello there, You’ve done an excellent job. I will definitely digg it and personally recommend to my friends. I am sure they’ll be benefited from this site.
I have learned some important matters through your website post. One other stuff I would like to state is that there are several games out there designed in particular for toddler age youngsters. They include pattern identification, colors, dogs, and styles. These commonly focus on familiarization instead of memorization. This makes little ones occupied without having the experience like they are studying. Thanks
I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good. I don’t know who you are but certainly you are going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!
Honestly, I have no idea how I have missed your comment until now. I am so sorry. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. 💕
