The number of young people experiencing mental health problems is estimated to be somewhere between 10 and 20 percent.   The  National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) has expressed concern over the numbers and the lack of resources available to help.   Concrew Training believe far more can be done at the teacher trainer level to identify and support students who may have problems.  Early interventions are often highly effective and low cost but teachers, trainers and support staff need to understand the signs and be trained to respond appropriately Concrew Training's one-day workshop on student mental health issues is perfect for inset day training for up to 20 staff.   read more here #studentmentalhealth #headteachers #mentalhealth #colleges #fe #schools #teachers #depression #education #classroom #edchat #mind

Tomorrow, Tuesday 09 February 2016 is Safer Internet Day 2016 Safer internet day is designed to encourage organisations to promote the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people.  Most students and young people use the internet and social networks on a routine basis and it is important the all those involved with young people understand the common platforms, how they work and the potential risks.    Asking the IT dept to block access to selected web sites is an ineffective solution.  Proxies, VPNs, Mobile Phones, Tablets etc by pass such blocks with ease.   Young people are often highly conversant with the technology and circumventing blocks but they are often less able to identify and so avoid potential risks. It is imperative that all those involved with you people get up to speed with the risks and consider how they can get E Safety messages across in the way young people understand and respond to.

Understanding budgets and how the company finances work is essential knowledge for all managers.   "Finance for non financial manager” training courses aim to provide the underpinning financial knowledge information managers need. However the needs of managers differ across roles and sectors and a one size fits all training solution seldom works Consequently Concrew Training now offer a range of one-day, or longer, workshops that explore different aspects and issues. For example the needs of the company director differ to those working in credit control and for some managers understanding budgets and budget control is more important than the workings of the balance sheet.
