Stay True to you Training for Parents 2024

As a parent, carer or family member, do you wonder what is happening in your child’s life and worry about their safety, their ability to make the right choices for themselves?

Do you wish you knew more about some of the risks they may encounter, the influences they feel such as online harms or even exploitation by others?

Do you want to help your child feel comfortable to talk to you or to another trusted adult if they don’t feel safe or have a concern?

Thames Valley Violence Prevention partnership has developed some training for parents to help parents understand the world of our young people.  These sessions will help parents to understand the facts behind issues such as: 

 Personal safety
 Knife crime
 Exploitation
 Online harm and cyber-bullying
 Signs and symptoms that something is wrong
 How to have those challenging conversations
 Signposting to services that can help you and your children

Each session is held online in a safe and welcoming environment with other parents, with the training helping to build your understanding while also giving time for discussion and questions. 

Registration is free – but must be completed in advance by clicking the links below: 

 1pm – 3pm Thursday 20 June
 10am – 12pm Friday 28 June
 6.30pm – 8.30pm Thursday 4 July

Further information is available on the website, Stay True To You  which has been developed in response to what local young people have told us about their experiences and perceptions of violence, crime and their safety.
