Outline
An overview of life for children within Armed Forces families, with an opportunity to discuss the challenges that Service children might face and how you can help.              
This course will be delivered by Jess Greenhalgh – Service Children’s Champion, NYC.
Description
North Yorkshire has a high proportion of Service children and these children often face a number of challenges in their lives including higher than average transitions and parents being away from the family home for extended periods of time. These challenges have been shown to impact Service children’s well-being and long term outcomes in comparison to their non-service peers. For example the Growing Up in North Yorkshire survey revealed that 44% of Service pupils had a low measure of resilience compared to 38% of their peers. The purpose of this training session is to give you a brief insight into Armed Forces life, to discuss the issues and challenges Service children and their families might face and how best to support them.
Outcome
Delegates will have a better understanding of the complex situation Service children sometimes live with.
Audience
All professionals and volunteers in North Yorkshire working with Service children & young people.

This course will be delivered by Rachel Yeadon – Senior Early Help Consultant, NYC.
Description
These two sessions explore how decisions are made in relation to the NY Safeguarding Children Partnership Threshold Guide and different agencies perspectives on providing the right support for children, at the right time, in the right place.  How do we know as professionals when to be concerned and what steps are needed?  In the first session will explore how our life experiences, culture and social context all impact on our individual beliefs, routines, expectations and bias in relation to safe uncertainty, when considering how a child needs to be supported. The optional second session is a practical opportunity to apply what you’ve learnt through example representative case studies.
Outcome
By attending these two sessions participants will have an understanding of thresholds and how our experiences and expectations influence our views with regard to safe uncertainty. You will gain confidence in your ability to navigate concerns you may have about a child, so that any uncertainties are safely managed and appropriate support is put in place at the right time by the right person.
Audience
All professionals in North Yorkshire working with children and young people.
