The BRAVE Project - Training “Building Safe Relationships / Protective Behaviours” An exciting opportunity for quality training that can make a positive difference in the lives of vulnerable children & young people
Protective Behaviours is based on two central themes: “We all have the right to feel safe all the time” “There is nothing so awful or so little that we can’t talk about it” A series of 8 x 3 hour training events (one training session a week) These ‘experiential’ training sessions will be facilitated by Sue Dominey and will take participants ‘step by step’ through the “Building Safe Relationships / Protective Behaviours” programme. When the training is completed successfully, participants should feel confident and competent to deliver the programme at two levels – Primary Schools (aged 7-11 years) and Special Needs Learners Secondary Schools and Young People in Youth and Community Settings (aged 11- 18 years) Cost: £185 (for all 8 training sessions and including Resource Packs) For more information or to register interest e-mail: or telephone 07906 203 062 To secure a place please send a deposit of £50, with your name, address and contact details.
