Dear All
After talking to Daren yesterday my germ of an idea to let you know what I
have been up to has now born fruit. Meet my need for sharing and community!

As I now work in a multiagency pilot project here in Tameside(Greater
Manchester) I have been talking about and training in Nonviolent
Communication in schools more and more.

Last week I gave a presentation to heads of service within Children's and
Young Peoples services. Part of which I linked to the Every Child Matters
document- this document now underpins what we are doing in education and
social services now and has a whole section on building a work force with
appropriate skills- empathy being one of them. Wondered if it would be
useful to use this elsewhere to spread nvc as vital to this end!- so is
linked here.

Leading up to Marshall's visit to Tameside next May- (23rd for those who
don't know) Laura Harvey and I are wanting to offer Foundation Courses to as
many people as possible- I am in the middle of organising this and trying to
make sure we begin to spread the word about next May. One high school is
interested as are other serives- Youth Offending team, the police and the
mental health workers on my new team

warmly
