These peer support training days include: •

• •

Buddy programme training – 1 days whole school training to include basics of Circle Time, highlights of Protective Behaviours, and MDSA training to promote whole school links and promote ‘Positive Playtimes’.

Peer Mediation Programme Training – 1 days training to include basics of Circle Time, Active Listening and Problem Solving Skills using VITAL. SNAP : Safety Net Assertiveness Project – Assertiveness is how to stand up for yourself without being mean. Project is because the SNAP work will grow and change as we tell the workers what we want, like setting up the Steering Group, having more support groups and by more children learning about SNAP.

Find out more by visiting http://www.safetynetkids.org.uk/personal-safety/snap/

We continue to deliver direct to the children, our popular peer support programmes (as above) and support schools with the ‘Bolster your Buddies’ programme. This includes hosting Buddy networking events and the development of a Peer Support Steering Group to develop our programmes.
