Congratulations to 12 of our parents who got, in house certificates for completing the First Aid Course.
This was so successful we are looking to running a course again next year.
We also completed a Solihull Approach to Parenting course with a group of very committed parents.
Our Craft skills course has continued on a Thursday morning 9.00- 11.00 with parents making dresses
for themselves and their children, cushion covers, tapestry embellishments for throws and a knitted

ADULT COURSES
A record number of pupils (5,929) and schools (173) completed the surveys this year
and those that had more than ten pupils taking part received back their own data. The
full results are posted on the safeguarding pages of LTS.
A striking feature of the Year 6 survey was the percentage of children who use live
streaming apps to broadcast online (17%) and the proportion of these who do this to
everyone without restriction (27%). Reports suggest that children who do this are
regularly targeted by inappropriate adults. The survey also shows that children who
live stream tend to engage in riskier activities across the board and are less well
monitored by their parents or carers. See the chart comparing live streamers with non-
live streamers.

8+ https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/professionals/resources/live-streaming/
These are some of the open question responses from Year 6 pupils...
“Someone from a webpage on Instagram said rude stuff about my livestream”
“They kept asking me for my name and my age. They kept swearing at me and calling
me names.”
“I was blackmailed and I was threatened to give them something and they said they
would hack me and find out where I live and they would come round to mine and hurt
me”
“A strange man messaged me as I didn’t know how to change the settings then”
“Someone online texted and he wanted to know where I live, he wanted a pic of me.
But I did not know who he was.”
“I have been added by a man with an inappropriate profile picture.”
