Our second international 
Protective Behaviours Foundation Level course is getting underway next week.
We were really excited to have people joining us from 10 different countries for our first course back in September. Participants learnt how to help themselves and others recognise when they’re not feeling safe and how to take action so they can feel safe again.
This TED talk by Stacey Mason shows just how powerful the Protective Behaviours process can be. If you’ve got a spare 18 minutes Stacey’s story is well worth every one.
How are your interview skills?! 
Mick is getting the hang of this media thing now he’s a published author (of a book that will soon be celebrating it’s second birthday! 
) He recently spoke with Mark Longbottom of the Purposely Podcast.

And there seems to be a theme – if your name starts with R then you run! 🏃🏾♂️Hard on the heels of Rob’s September running success Ranjit snuck in an unofficial Virtual London Marathon run through Yorkshire on the weekend. As you do!!
Huge congratulations to Ranjit for making it the whole way after recent injury put the day in doubt. And for raising over £1000 in the process – another amazing effort! 💷
We are only able to do what we do because of people like you, Ranjit – thank you! 👏🏿👏🏻👏🏽

Is November peak conference season?! 🤔
The inability to travel certainly hasn’t slowed things down recently…
This month Mick has spoken to Rising Tides in the US 🇺🇸, Brazil 🇧🇷 and India 🇮🇳 and Dan with World Without Orphans, Europe.
It’s exciting to have so many opportunities to talk to professionals and to donors about how to support children so they have somewhere to be and feel safe and somewhere to belong so they have the best chance to thrive.
