The Early Years team are creating an opportunity for setting practitioners, childminders and reception teaching staff, of all levels and experiences to come together and reflect upon Equality, Diversity and Inclusion within the early years.

We are asking that all practitioners are made aware of this opportunity so those with a keen interest in this field are able to attend and contribute. So please exercise your power of inclusivity and ask each staff member if they would like to be a part of this.

 
This support group has been set up specifically for carers of teenagers, who may be struggling, or would like to better cope with some of the behaviours that their young people are showing. 


The group will be facilitated by Thinking Aloud and will aim to meet once every 6 weeks during term time. The programme will very much be determined by yourselves, as this series of support groups has been set up with you in mind to meet your current needs.



It would be helpful if you could email catherine.charlton@southglos.gov.uk  any particular issues that you would perhaps like covered in advance, as a more detailed programme could be drawn up ahead of the sessions, if we know what the issues are.

These 50 minute coaching sessions with coaches will assist council staff in coming up with strategies and action plans to maintain and build their wellbeing and resilience. Unlike counselling which provides a safe space to explore worries and concerns, these confidential coaching sessions will help staff come up with individual plans to help them build their resilience, understand what they can do to enhance their wellbeing and overcome current and future obstacles. There are activities and exercises that wellbeing coaches can also give people to work through in their own time if they would find it useful.

Please note these sessions will be delivered by skype or telephone.  Your coach will contact you to confirm the best method for you.

According to the World Health Organisation learning to be resilient is one of the most important skills people can learn for improving your health and wellbeing. Resilience can help you overcome challenges and bounce back after set backs. Researchers have shown that whilst some resilience is innate, there are many aspects of resilience which you can learn. This online course will cover those areas of resilience which can be learnt and give you a boost of resilience with it.

This is a self-study course that you can complete at your own pace.

In order to meet the aims of the council many teams are now being asked to work in different ways. This change of focus is referred to as agile working and we are tackling many projects with a focus on output over process, speeding up change and delivering on our commitments with much quicker timescales. The benefits are enhanced value for money for our residents and evolving services that meet our community’s needs. This often requires us to work in very different ways than we are used to and this online course is intended to provide you with an overview of what is required in adopting the council’s new ways of working.

This course will give you an opportunity to explore what agile working is and the differences in approaching tasks in this way, the factors that need to be in place to ensure new ways of working work for you, the organisation and our residents and some tools to support these approaches. It will also give you some practical examples of successful projects based on an agile approach and the lessons that have been learnt from this.

We are currently offering this half day course as an online course for you to work through at your own pace.  There are 3 sections to this course with an accompanying handout and transcript.
