Relationships Matter Workshop

Our Safeguarding Lead, Ms Fox, will be delivering the third Relationship Matters workshop on Monday 18th May 9.15-10.45am here at school. We'll provide tea, coffee and biscuits and hope to see lots of you there.

The Workshop supports parents and carers to look at healthy ways to communicate that support everyone feeling heard, seen and appreciated. 

We cover how we can reduce conflict, increase awareness of our own and others communication styles and see where we can make positive changes.

Ms Fox welcomes all and asks you call school to let her know you would like to attend.

The workshop has had positive feedback across our local area and we hope it will for our families and their children here at Uplands Manor too.
