Introduction to Mentors in Violence Prevention This 2 hour webinar introduces the Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) programme. MVP is designed to help young people speak out against bullying, violence and abusive behaviour. MVP improves the culture inside any organisation or community. MVP works because young people become the trainers and influencers. No longer are teachers the only ones who manage negative behaviour. With MVP it is the pupils themselves who play just as big a part and ensure good behaviour exists within their school and local community. The programme helps reduce the number of temporary and permanent school exclusions by providing young people with leadership skills and challenging unacceptable behaviours. 9th May – 13:00 – 15:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-607604329907 25th May – 9:00 – 11:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-607613988797 6th June – 13:00 – 15:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-616341874137 20th June – 9:00 – 11:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-617125578217 4th July – 9:00 – 11:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-607195376717 13th July –9:00 – 11:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-595819029757 11th August – 13:00 – 15:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-617189910637 15th August – 11:00 – 13:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-607278214487 7th September – 13:00 – 15:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-615534870367 14th September – 13:00 – 15:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-617600027307 6th October – 9:00 – 11:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-617138747607 20th October – 13:00 – 15:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-607201164027 6th November – 13:00 -15:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-607098657427 15th November – 13:00 – 15:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-617196620707 11th December – 9:00 – 11:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-607283941617 20th December – 9:00 – 11:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-615666955437 9th January – 13:00 – 15:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-623631587867 16th January – 13:00 – 15:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-617153682277 8th February – 9:00 – 11:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-607203882157 12th February – 13:00 – 15:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-595822219297 6th March – 9:00 – 11:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-617201976727 12th March – 13:00 – 15:00 – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mentors-in-violence-prevention-mvp-tickets-607288164247 Public Health Approach to Violence Prevention The two-hour Public Health Approach to Violence Prevention and Reduction Webinar aims to introduce learners to the public health approach and to increase awareness of the role everyone in society can play in violence prevention and reduction.
