Parents of teenage children will now have a second chance to attend a trailblazing series of webinars piloted earlier this year.
The ‘Let’s Talk Teenagers’ webinars were set up to help parents and carers understand and support their teenagers to navigate the challenges of today’s world.
The first sessions were sold out and with demand so high a second series has now been planned to run next month (Wednesdays June 15, 22 and 29).
The ‘Let’s Talk Teenagers’ webinars were designed by the South Devon and Dartmoor Community Safety Partnership and rolled out across Devon in partnership with other local organisations that work together to keep children and young people safe, support parents and reduce crime and antisocial behaviour.
Places for the courses were initially limited to 200, but a staggering 749 parents and carers attended one or more of the sessions in total, and the feedback received was highly positive.
FREE HOLIDAY COURSE
Shear Soccer is delighted to be delivering a Free Holiday course during the School Holidays at a number of different venues for children aged 5-14, who are eligible for free school meals (FSM). The days will run from 10.00am until 3.00pm and will consist of a variety of different sporting activities and will include some nutritional activities where the children will spend some time learning about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Children who attend the course will be provided with lunch each day however it is recommended that children bring plenty of fluids with them which can be taken outside when participating in the sporting activities.
Numbers are strictly limited to only 50 spaces and will be offered on a first come first served basis. When booking onto the course you will be able to select which weeks you would like to book your children on to using the drop down menu at the top of the booking form or if you would like to book onto both weeks, this option is also available.
All children who attend the course must have a parent/guardian sign them out after each session, coaches will not let children leave the premises unless a signature has been obtained.
Children will need to bring suitable clothing for the weather including coats if it is raining as the sporting activities are likely to take place outside. All sessions will align the safety measures put in place from the Government and the FA during the Covid 19 period.
Our coaches are CRB/DBS checked, hold a UEFA coaching qualification and have Emergency First Aid Training. If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact me on 07967124844 or

Compassion in Action - Youth & Community Project, in Torbay, Devon, support teenagers struggling with mental health difficulties and provide services to parents of children who are struggling with their mental wellbeing.
Their services enable young people to empower themselves, learn more about their mental wellbeing and develop strategies to heal trauma. They specialise in equipping young people and parents not only to address their own mental wellbeing, but also to go on to support others to achieve the same. Their peer-to-peer support model, for teenagers and parents, aims to strengthen their community through expanding its knowledge and practice of how to look after ourselves and each other.

Devon Youth Choir are organising free choral workshops for young singers aged 11-18 who are interested in being part of the brand new Devon Youth Choir.
Helping adults learn to read isn’t just about enabling them to enjoy a good book. It is so much more.
‘Let's Talk Teenagers’ is a series of online support sessions and an opportunity for parents and guardians of teenagers and pre-teens to hear about the challenges young people are facing today. These evening sessions will be running on consecutive weeks throughout March.
A Day in the life of an Anglo-Saxon 8B 8N and 8P
Pupils in 8B, 8N and 8P recently went to visit the living histories
Saxon village at Wildwood Escot in Ottery St Mary.
We had a fantastic day learning about how the Saxons lived; how they made and foraged food, how they made tools and toys and exploring what their houses and shelters were like. We made bread in the cob oven and a clothes pin in the forge. We also got to see some amazing animals including wolves up close!
Combe Pafford, like many schools, uses the Thrive programme to support children’s social and emotional development and mental health. Through this project, we aim to explore how music can be integrated into the Thrive programme, and to support Thrive practitioners to make more use of music in their work. Throughout the Spring term, Elly and Stuart will work with three classes at Combe Pafford, mainly through online workshops, in a project which will culminate in May with two days of performances and recordings celebrating the young people’s achievements.
Play Torbay are delighted to be returning this new year with a brand new programme of Afterthought for parents, carers and anyone interested in different aspects of children’s development and associated services. All the sessions are on Zoom and completely free and can be booked using our online booking system. The sessions run monthly from 7.45pm to 9pm.
