Welcome to the training...
Challenge Your Perspective
We want all parents/carers to feel welcome, included and safe when they attend a parent/carer and baby class and as educators, it is our duty to ensure that our groups and classes are fully inclusive. This mini-course is designed to challenge any bias or unconscious prejudice we may hold about parents and carers based on their identification. IT IS FREE TO ALL - We are committed to social justice and equity
WHY STUDY SAFE SPACES?
Every parent/carer has a different experience when they attend a group. Some feel anxious before they attend and need their mind put at ease to allay their anxieties. Some parents/carers fear judgement because of how they identify or express themselves. We want to ensure that when any parent/carer and child attend your group, they will feel included and above all else SAFE.
Safety is the foundation of inclusion

Introducing...
Our Amazing Safe Spaces Contributors
This training could not have happened without members of the Blossom & Berry community sharing their experiences and stories.
With bravery, courage and vulnerability they are talking about their experience of belonging in parent/carer and baby spaces and sharing what was a challenge and what they valued.
They also share resources that represent their voices and needs so that we can be more aware and educated.
We want to say a BIG THANK YOU to them all
