We provide FREE training sessions for small groups of children aged 8-13 who may have experienced bullying behaviour at school or in the community . Our sessions are also helpful to children who have low self confidence, which can mean they have difficulties maintaining friendships or standing up for themselves in a positive, non aggressive way. SNAP aims to provide additional life skills by teaching some simple assertive techniques and raising awareness of steps that children can take to keep themselves safe. SNAP sessions are FREE and take place during the school holidays or after school. We also provide specific sessions for children who are young carers, have special needs or are from a particular ethnic group through partnership working.
Also available
Parents’ Groups We run groups for parents whose children have attended SNAP. This is an opportunity for parents to support each other and learn about the SNAP techniques.
SNAP Safety on the buses Is an anti -bullying and safety training for secondary students who travel to school by bus and for secondary bus monitors.
“It is useful that the children reflected on their own choices and responsibilities as well as the right to feel safe. This will give them the confidence to take control of different feelings and situations which increase self esteem.” (Cheryl,Young Carer’s support Worker)
