This webinar is suitable for anyone who works with children and young people and will increase understanding of teenage development and how to look past behaviour at what might be underlying and driving it. \nTraining topics will include: \n\nAn introduction to mental health and wellbeing\, with specific focus on adolescents\nLooking at teenage brain development and how this might impact behaviour\nFocus on what causes concern and risk-taking behaviour\, with an emphasis on practical ideas and strategies to support young people\n\nLearning outcomes: \n\nIncreased understanding of teenage brain development\nIncreased understanding of risk-taking behaviour and what causes it\, in adolescents\nPractical ideas and strategies for supporting young people in their development.\n\nBOOK NOW \n\nSpeaker: Nikki Holmes\, Director – Safer Together \nAfter graduating with a degree in criminology and psychology\, Nikki began her carer with West Midlands Police where she served as a police officer in a variety of different roles. It was whilst working as an Integrated Offender Manager (IOM) that she developed a greater understanding of the issues of exploitation\, serious youth violence and trauma. \nNikki recognised that as much as she had a passion for policing\, she wanted to use the knowledge she had acquired to support children and young people\, rather than as she described ” be complicit in punishing them for their abuse.” This resulted in her taking the brave step of leaving a job she thought she would do for life. \nThe next step for Nikki was to work in the field of substance misuse\, where she managed and developed a young person’s substance misuse service in Warwickshire. She led the development of Hidden Harm Pathways\, ensuring that children of parents dependent on substances were no longer invisible and in receipt of the support they needed. This work was recognised by the CQC as an exemplar of outstanding and innovative practice that should be replicated nationally. \nIn May 2017\, Nikki joined the CQC as a Children’s services inspector where she led and contributed to a range of National Review processes including LA SEND inspections\, JTAI’s and Children Looked After and Safeguarding (CLAS) reviews. She also managed a portfolio of children’s homes\, supporting them to meet the complex needs of children in a way that was responsive and trauma informed. She remains a bank Children’s Services Inspector today. (CSI) \nIn 2020\, in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic\, Nikki launched Safer Together. “For me\, the pandemic was a moment of clarity\, a moment where I reflected on what I learnt as a CSI and a moment where I thought I want to share the learning to support fatigued practitioners and systems to navigate the complexities of the world our children live in\, to come together\, work together to make society safer.” \nIn addition to heading Safer Together\, Nikki is also an accredited SILP reviewer and author of Domestic Homicide Reviews (DHRs)\, Safeguarding Adult Reviews (SARs) and Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews (CSPRs). She is also a researcher\, and a visiting lecturer of criminology and psychology. \nIn the little spare time she has\, she fills her cup by spending as much time with her two boys\, Joe and Flynn\, the two not so little people who inspire her every day to be better and do better so that their world\, and the world for their children is a safer\, fairer and a more compassionate place.

Many schools go to great lengths to welcome their newcomers\, most of whom will have had various tours and visits\, an induction day at some point during the previous summer term\, as well as a week-long settling-in programme at the beginning of term. By October half term\, there’s usually a feeling that the dust has settled somewhat – so how do we make sense of the “November Dip”\, when in the weeks following the half term break\, emotions run higher\, homesickness rears its head and there’s a tangible shift in the new cohort dynamic?

SUMMARY:BAISIS - Addressing cultural stigma around neurodivergence and disability (Chinese market)

To cater to the needs of our students\, pastorally and academically\, we need to ensure we recognise and understand cultural variations. This includes the beliefs and feelings of the child and child’s family. Members report facing barriers to family engagement around intervention and support suggested\, and this limits the support available to Chinese students who need it\, and can risk damaging relations between school and family\, school and child and even\, sometimes\, child and family. \nYet we want and need to offer the best opportunities we can to all our students. This webinar will support delegates in understanding the cultural stigma associated with social and learning needs and disabilities and make suggestions for breaking down barriers and prejudice to promote better outcomes for students\, and better relationships with the family. \nOur speaker will share her expertise and recommendations based on her own lived experience and professional focus on autism and neurodivergence. This combined lived and professional approach provides a unique insight into the Chinese community. \nTopics include: \n\nUnderstanding how specific learning and social needs\, and disabilities are regarded in China\nProviding information\nManaging an emotive subject and potential language barriers.\n\nLearning outcomes: \n\nImproved understanding of the stigma from some of the Chinese community around additional needs\nRecommendations to improve family knowledge and understanding\nRecommendations to improve support offered to children and their families in the specific instance of identifying a need for support.\n\nBOOK NOW \nThis event is available to BSA members at the exclusive BAISIS member rate of £55.

Despite this\, Hazel’s genuine desire to help others and her determination to ensure no child or family affected by autism suffers in silence has made a significant impact on the local autism community\, and those trying to understand autism in the Chinese cultural context both in Wales and all over the world. \nTo further support minority families affected by autism\, Hazel founded Chinese Autism CIC in 2022\, a project which is dedicated to empowering all Chinese families in need across the UK.  CACIC endeavours to counter the misinformed perspectives and cultural stigma that uniquely exists within the Chinese community through providing guidance\, information\, education\, and awareness campaigns\, strongly focusing on leading by example to remove barriers\, address prejudice\, and foster inclusion and equality.
