Delegates attending this course are called upon to prepare statements and reports for use in court proceedings involving children and to, potentially, attend court to give oral evidence based upon those reports. The course will provide the necessary skills to enable delegates to produce concise, accurate and compelling written evidence and give guidance as to how to present that evidence to best effect in the courtroom. The second day of the course enables delegates to practise giving oral evidence in a formal setting and to be cross examined by our experienced barrister-trainer.

Following on from the successful Art of Brilliance course this seven-week programme will introduce you to evidence-based wellbeing practices that will provide you with a boost as we come into spring.

There are 1,440 minutes in a day we will be introducing you to simple and quick things you can do to enhance your wellbeing and health in easy ways. We aim that this programme will be fun and thought provoking, with small ideas that can make a big difference, it will include inspiration, science, local wellbeing information, and activities to think about or do over the week

This programme will focus on how you connect with others, different ways to be active and move more through the winter months, the benefits of taking notice of the world around you as well as the present moment, tips to keep learning, and how giving and expressing kindness can make a real difference in your life.

We will be bringing colleagues together with passion for wellbeing to facilitate sessions and give you an opportunity to share your stories, successes, goals and progress too. We will encourage people to share ideas and inspiration in the Team chat but just as with the Art of Brilliance, but people can just watch if that’s what they prefer.
