Suicide Intervention Skills Training 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. This training is available to all GCC Education Staff. Open the leaflet to find out more and book places.

Nurturing Families

Poster

Glasgow Educational Psychology Service have produced a set of resources, consisting of a powerpoint, posters, and leaflet, which can be used by settings to support:

  • Building strong relationships between and within schools/ELC settings and the local community
  • Development of a shared language and approach to understanding children’s development, behaviour and emotions using the nurture principles
  • Parents and carers to feel empowered to develop their own ways of providing nurturing care

If your setting has nurture well-embedded, and is seeking to engage with parents and carers using the nurture principles, these resources could be really helpful.
