Feelings worksheets
Ten worksheets aimed at helping practitioners talk through a variety of feelings and issues with children and young people. We hope the sheets will enable workers to open up conversations around subjects including family life, understanding alcohol, where to go for help, coping with different feelings and well-being.
Coordinated Crisis Support Provision Expression of Interest Form
An exciting new partnership between The Children’s Society, Local Government Association, Trussell Trust, the Church of England, Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales and BBC Children in Need will shortly be piloting a new “coordinated crisis support” programme to better coordinate provision of emergency financial assistance within local areas.
We are seeking to work in three local areas across England and Wales, and to work closely in partnership with councils providing local welfare assistance schemes to deliver the programme. With this in mind, we are delighted to invite relevant councils to submit an expression of interest for their areas to be involved in the pilots.
This form provides information about the project, what we are looking for from councils, along with the questions. Please refer to the information in the 'what next' section for details on how to submit the form. The deadline for submitting completed forms is close of play Friday 28th June.
The related report 'coordinated crisis support proposal' provides further information about the programme.
Well-being information sheets
The young people we work with have told us that living someone who drinks too much can affect their emotional well-being. They might be worried, afraid, scared or confused. Our information sheets can help young people find out more about those feelings and ways in which they might be able to deal with them. There are some tips to try and lots of online links to other places to find support.
Alcohol related harm to others in England
Results from the largest survey on alcohol-related harm to others in the UK and the first national survey in England.
You are not on your own
You are not on your own is a booklet for use by children affected by a parent or carer who drinks too much. It is designed to help children and young people have frank discussions with professionals or trusted adults about a parent's drinking and is intended to address ways to keep them safe from harm.
The First Step: How return home interviews can improve support and safeguarding for missing young people
The Children's Society were commissioned by The NPCC, funded by The Home Office, to carry out research to help understand the national picture of Return Home Interview (RHI) provision in England and Wales.
The research sought to help understand the practical barriers that are stopping RHIs taking place in accordance with the statutory guidance and help identify good practice for the delivery of RHIs.
Help me understand
Help me understand supports children and young people affected by a parent or carer’s alcohol or drug treatment. The booklet aims to help those affected talk to support workers about what the treatment undertaken by a parent or carer means, and how they might be feeling and experiencing it.
