Welcome to the NYSCP April 2022 edition of our e-Bulletin
Welcome to April’s edition of our NYSCP E-Bulletin.
How is this…. As the clocks have ‘sprung’ forward the chance to get outside and enjoy a little more of the evening light has given me the opportunity to reflect on the working day, clear my head and create a moment to be mindful. It is so important we all take time to look after our own wellbeing so we can support those who we are working to support, something the pandemic has very much reminded me.
Spring time for us in the Partnership is looking to be a busy time with a number of key areas of work we would love to you be part of. These include our NYSCP Relevant Safeguarding Partners coming together in April for our Strategic Group meeting reflecting on the work of the partnership during 2021/22 and setting priorities for 2022/23 in line with our Being Young in North Yorkshire Strategy.
The month of May sees our newly advertised ‘Working with Men’ conference taking place virtually on the 18th May to book your free place visit the North Yorkshire Education Services website here and finishing off 20-24th June sees the return of our previously successful joint Safeguarding Week with colleagues from across North Yorkshire, York and East Riding Safeguarding Children, Adults and Community Safety Partnerships.. more information will be share in our next e:Bulletin so keep your eye peeled.
Many thanks,
James

Contextual Safeguarding: Blog by Dr Sarah Lloyd of PACE
Why contextual safeguarding is critical to keeping children safe from harm outside of the home “Parenting an exploited child is exhausting and bewildering, the levels of trauma parents experience is monumental and receiving specialist support is vital”.
