The 14 elements that develop resilience in children and young people: Making connections; Helping others; A daily routine; Unstructured time; Self-care; Having good goals; Learning to manage emotions – powerful ones; Learning to be positive – not catastrophising; Making mistakes; Experiencing change; Not having all their needs met; Experiencing risk; Problem solving; Dealing with ‘why?’ questions well (learning about the ‘pending tray’).
Kay Morgan-Gurr, Additional Needs Alliance

Sessions addressing four Big Post-Covid Questions:
Restored or dropped? Which pre-Covid activities do you want to see restored as soon as possible and which, if any, do you realise were marginal in impact and can be dropped?
How can we reconnect? How might we re-establish links with those families and children we have lost?
How can we keep our new contacts? How might we retain connections with new families and children we have established on-line links with as face-to-face meeting restart?
Room & Zoom. How might we integrate the best of virtual meetings with a return to face-to-face events?
