Today we hosted the first of our monthly Knowledge Exchange drop-in sessions, where the topic of collaborative learning and support was centred on the barriers and supportive factors towards mobilising locality-based reflective and strategic spaces. Together we learn better!

In the last couple of weeks, 150 VPC Leaders (rep. 24 Forces) completed our live 🖥 trg sessions incl "VPC Safeguarding", "Working With Young People" & "Trauma Informed"! Dedicated Volunteers & Policing colleagues giving up a few hours to make the difference for young people🏆!

Our monthly Community of Practice Knowledge Exchange drop-in sessions cultivate a space for reflective practice and collaborative learning across the West Midlands, which is critical to bridge the research to practice gap. Join us on: 25th July: 10am 31st Aug: 2pm 26th Sep: 10am

We've revamped our Barnardo's Roadmap of Hope! It is time to move beyond the ACEs framework - adverse experiences aren't destiny. Let's remember that we can support resilience & rewrite the narrative of trauma into one of hope through positive interactions & protective factors.
