TIME:              1pm – 4pm

WHO:             Early Years Settings

Oh Lila is a child friendly resource suitable for use with children aged 3 to 6 years and aims to build resilience and protective factors in young children, helping them to develop social skills and encouraging them to communicate.   Oh Lila can be linked to the Curriculum for Excellence, particularly around Health & Wellbeing but other areas too, such as Creative Arts.

On completing training, learners will have:

• An increased awareness of the key themes of Oh Lila and how they relate to building resilience in children.
• Increased confidence, skills and knowledge to use the Oh Lila resource and to manage disclosures from children in line with organizational procedures.
• An enhanced awareness and understanding of the problems caused by alcohol and that by strengthening the foundation (early years) of life can prevent problems later as young adults.
• An increased awareness of local and national strategies and policies.

The Oh Lila resource pack does not talk about alcohol or any other substances.
