Keeping Children Safe in a Digital World – Tuesday 15 March 2016

We are delighted to invite you to local events on Online Safety.  With over 91% of children living in a household with access to the internet, children have never been more accessible to offenders online (CEOP; 2015).  It is everyone’s responsibility to educate young people to the risks, to identify when they may be being harmed and to intervene to protect our children and young people when necessary.

We welcome parents, carers, teachers, social workers, community workers, sports coaches, police officers and anyone with a role in supporting children and young people to come along.

There is no need to apply… simply email acpc@angus.gov.uk either individually or as a team/service to let us know what session you want to come along to.

Please share this widely.  Look forward to seeing you at the events!

Growth Mindset for Parents

“Heard a bit about Growth Mindset in schools and want to find out more?  Come along to our ‘Mindset Matters’ Workshop for Parent Council Reps!

Delivered jointly by Schools and Learning Staff and the Educational Psychology Service, this interactive workshop will take you through Carol Dweck’s theory of Growth Mindset and how it is being applied in schools.  We will discuss the use of praise and how this can contribute to fixed or growth mindsets and how we can all support children and young people in Angus to develop healthy mindsets towards learning.

This session will run twice, at the following times:

Tuesday 23rd February 6.30 – 8.30pm, Angus House, Forfar, Rooms A & B
Tuesday 15th March 6.30 – 8.30pm, Bruce House, Arbroath, Room A”
