UNCRC - Awareness Raising Session for Headteachers
2021-06-07 16:00 - 17:30 | Online
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) will be incorporated into law in Scotland by the end of this year. This will give children’s rights the highest possible protection and will mean that public authorities have to ensure that all policies and procedures comply with children’s rights.
To help with this, Maxine Jolly from Education Scotland will be leading an awareness raising session on the UNCRC and it’s implication for education and children’s services. This session is designed for Headteachers and will also offer advice/guidance on how we can incorporate the UNCRC into our everyday practice, but also highlight the current work/policies that already takes place in our education establishments.
This session will take place via Microsoft Teams on 7 June 2021 from 4pm to 5:30pm. The invite for the Teams meeting is being distributed to all Headteachers to enable participation.

CLICK: PATH TO PROTECTION - ONLINE CPP TRAINING COURSES FOR 2021
2021-02-02 - 2021-04-28 | Online
Tayside Regional Improvement Collaborative Priority Group 5: Safeguarding and Child Protection are working in partnership with the Marie Collins Foundation to deliver their CLICK Path to Protection training for professionals working with children and young people across Tayside, to help support children, young people and families following discovery or disclosure of online sexual abuse.

The Marie Collins Foundation (MCF) was created to offer a cohesive approach to addressing the recovery needs of children, and their families, who suffer harm online. The MCF vision is to ensure that all children who suffer abuse via the internet and mobile technology are able to recover and live safe and fulfilling lives.

The Path to Protection is about how professionals need to intervene to support the child and their family from the point of discovery of the abuse to recovery. It covers considerations at each stage of the journey and different practitioners will have a role at different points on this path. It is a highly evaluated, evidence-based, multi-faceted training and support programme which aims to ensure that every professional working with children that are either at risk of or the victims of online abuse, understands not only what his/her role entails, but also those of their colleagues from organisations jointly charged with protecting children.

Structure of the Click: Path to Protection training model is explained more fully in the flyer. Each course will be delivered online by Marie Collins Foundation staff and is designed to give the target audience the information they need to fulfil their role. It is intended that practitioners attend the course which is most suitable for the role they are undertaking in working with children. Please ensure you select the most appropriate training for your role. If this is unclear, please contact Catriona Scobbie (details below) for assistance.

On completion of the training, trainees are invited to complete an online evaluation after which they will be invited to register to have access to the CLICK: Path to Protection (CPP) secure platform on the MCF website. From this site they will be able to download their certificate and have access to up to date guidance on how to intervene at each stage on the path to protection. This includes the ability to download templates and other aids.

In Tayside, the programme will run as detailed below and in the flyer. A number of date alternatives are provided, where possible, to assist planning. Practitioners are only required to attend one session within the relevant category:

Solihull Approach - 2 Day Foundation Training Opportunity
2019-11-22 09:00 - 16:00 | Whitehills Health Centre, Forfar
We are excited to share information about our roll out an extensive 2 day training programme throughout Tayside for all practitioners working with pregnant women and families with children in their early years in Tayside.
The Solihull Approach is a UK project developed in 2001 by a team led by Dr Hazel Douglas MBE, a Psychotherapist and Psychologist who was the head of Child Psychology in Solihull. She originally developed the model whilst working with a team of Health Visitors, Child and Adolescent Mental Health services and families.
The Solihull Approach aims to increase the emotional health and wellbeing of children and families, ensuring children have a good emotional start in life whilst supporting parents in a creative and consistent approach.
The Solihull Approach helps parents process their own emotions and anxieties allowing them to cope with and focus more clearly on how to assist their children’s emotions, anxieties and behaviours.
It looks at 3 main concepts:
Containment – The beginning of the process, the calmness in the face of a storm. Parents are supported to process the situation and listen and take in the whole picture. Containment gives the parents a calm, safe, secure environment in order to ensure they are appropriately and emotionally equipped to support their children through difficult periods. It builds on relationship and secure attachment.
Reciprocity – Being in tune with each other, the building blocks of relationship and positive interaction, the communication dance. Parents are supported to consider why their child is acting in such a way and are encouraged to see things from the child’s perspective, so building a secure and stable relationship for each.
Behaviour Management – supporting children in self-regulation, self-control and boundaries. Encouraging children’s positive behaviour through positive modelling, consistency and the importance of predictability
The Solihull Approach is now used across the UK and across the world by midwives to firefighters, schools, homes, hospitals and prisons.
The training course is free to attend but spaces are limited and booking is essential.
Please note the second date for this training session will be Friday December 6 from 9am-4pm at Whitehills Health Centre, Forfar. Delegates must attend both days.
For more information or to book your place, please contact the Solihull Approach team on 01738 477943 or email ERose@pkc.gov.uk

Solihull Approach - 2 Day Foundation Training Opportunity (session 2)
2019-08-30 09:00 - 16:00 | Stracathro Hospital, By Brechin, Angus, DD9 7QA
We are excited to share information about our roll out an extensive 2 day training programme throughout Tayside for all practitioners working with pregnant women and families with children in their early years in Tayside.
The Solihull Approach is a UK project developed in 2001 by a team led by Dr Hazel Douglas MBE, a Psychotherapist and Psychologist who was the head of Child Psychology in Solihull. She originally developed the model whilst working with a team of Health Visitors, Child and Adolescent Mental Health services and families.
The Solihull Approach aims to increase the emotional health and wellbeing of children and families, ensuring children have a good emotional start in life whilst supporting parents in a creative and consistent approach.
The Solihull Approach helps parents process their own emotions and anxieties allowing them to cope with and focus more clearly on how to assist their children’s emotions, anxieties and behaviours.
It looks at 3 main concepts:
Containment – The beginning of the process, the calmness in the face of a storm. Parents are supported to process the situation and listen and take in the whole picture. Containment gives the parents a calm, safe, secure environment in order to ensure they are appropriately and emotionally equipped to support their children through difficult periods. It builds on relationship and secure attachment.
Reciprocity – Being in tune with each other, the building blocks of relationship and positive interaction, the communication dance. Parents are supported to consider why their child is acting in such a way and are encouraged to see things from the child’s perspective, so building a secure and stable relationship for each.
Behaviour Management – supporting children in self-regulation, self-control and boundaries. Encouraging children’s positive behaviour through positive modelling, consistency and the importance of predictability
