CLPL – Suicide Intervention Training Skills Workshops
Every day two people die by suicide in Scotland. The vast majority of those thinking about suicide will find some way to signal their intent. Suicide may be prevented through the actions of prepared caregivers. As part of an Action Plan to reduce suicide in Glasgow, the Glasgow City Suicide Prevention Partnership aims to provide training to key frontline staff via a multi-agency approach. In order to meet this aim, a series of suicide intervention skills training workshops are available for frontline staff. There are places available for GCC Education Staff as well as Third Sector/Voluntary staff. Open the leaflet to find out more and book places:

Professional Learning Opportunity – Nurturing Staff Wellbeing – 31st Jan to 25th April
We are all aware of the pressures of working in the early years sector and for the families we provide a service for. This is a fantastic opportunity to spend a bit of time focusing on staff wellbeing in these difficult times.
The course is run by Glasgow Educational Psychology Service and the Nurture Development Officer and is online (MS Teams). There are four sessions, each with information and activities on a wellbeing topic. It works best when a member of staff attends who has an interest in staff wellbeing and takes back activities to use with their team.
This course is free to access for all ELC providers in Glasgow. GCC nurseries register via CPD manager and funded providers complete the registration form and send to Jane Holmes, Nurture Clerical Assistant at gw22holmesjane@glowmail.org.uk by Tuesday 24th January.
