Event description
This training has been arranged for foster carers or those working with our children looked after.
What is emotion coaching? Emotion coaching was first introduced by John Gottman and his colleagues in the USA. Emotion coaching is about helping children to become more aware of their emotions and to manage their own feelings particularly during instances of misbehaviour. It entails validating children's emotions, setting limits where appropriate and problem-solving with the child to develop more effective behavioural strategies.
The Course will run from 12:45 to 14:30, but you will able to log into the meeting from 12:30, so that we can ensure a prompt start at 12:45

Protocol for running the meeting with safeguarding considerations:
1. Please arrive from 12:30.
2. When you enter, please arrive with your volume on “mute”
3. Please make sure that your name on the screen is just your first name with the first letter of your surname; for example, Catherine C. This is to maintain your confidentiality. You will not be admitted to the meeting without your name typed in the box because that way we make sure only people who have been invited attend. So, you have to type it in before you click “join”
4. Please always keep your video on so that we know who is “in the room”
5. Please do not use names of children during the meeting, this is to maintain their confidentiality
6. We will not be recording the meeting, please do not do so either
7. If you want to ask a question or make a comment, please type it into the “chat” function. The person who is moderating the meeting can then ask you to unmute and speak to the whole meeting
