The session will cover topics including:

  • Having meaningful conversations about safety 
  • Helping our children stay safe; the SAFE ‘T’s approach 
  • Further support and resources available 

    • Anyone interested can register for the workshop via this Zoom link – you will then be sent a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
