Quote Of The Week - Safety

'Out of this nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety'

  ~ William Shakespeare

Make It Safe - Cord Safety Leaflet

I went to a 4networking meeting last Thursday and the 4sight by Steve @ Johns Blinds was very informative and thought provoking. I was surprised to hear that 5 children died in the UK last year as a result of choking on blind cords, so please take a look at this Make It Safe - Cord Safety Leaflet on how to make your blind cords safe around children. 

Quote Of The Week - Peace

'We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace' 

~ William Ewart Gladstone

Happy New Year!

A Happy New Year to you all!

We hope you've had a good rest over Christmas, we certainly have (as well as one too many mince pies!)

It was a busy run up to the end of the year - as well as our 'Working with Parents' course in Herts, we completed 'Effective Communication with Children and Young People', 'Managing Negative Behaviour', and 'Youth Work' training with Barking and Dagenham Council. We're really pleased to have these additional qualifactions in our toolkit.

We also braved the snow and ran some taster sessions at the Queens Theatre Networking Event in Hornchurch. If you missed this event due to the snow, there's another chance to come along on the 17th February. For more info, see www.queens-theatre.co.uk

What we've got coming up next:

A 6 week 'Parents Matter Too' parenting course in Herts
Taster sessions with Beautology in Hornchurch, Essex - watch this space
Attending the St Francis Hospice Valentine's Ball - support this great cause and come along (see www.sfh.org.uk for details)

And finally, our quote for an optimistic New Year:

'Optimist: someone who figures that taking a step backward after taking a step forward is not a disaster, it's a cha-cha' Robert Brault
