Dear Parent/Carer,
Understanding Behaviours of Concern – Free information sessions for family carers
Behaviours of concern relate to a wide range of actions that may negatively affect your cared for person’s quality of life, impact on their or other’s safety, lead to restrictions, limit access to ordinary community facilities or disrupt activities and opportunities. This could include self-injury, property damage, withdrawal or isolation, and physical or verbal aggression.
If you think this relates to you and the person you care for, please consider attending the information sessions all about understanding behaviours of concern. The sessions are over two half days, you will need to attend both days to get the most out of the information.
Please refer to the attached flyer for further information, including dates and locations of the sessions.
For more information on what to expect, and how to book onto the sessions, please visit redstone.pbs.co.uk/bcp-dorset-training.

Dear Parent/Carer,
Throughout the school year, we hold "Drop Days" on certain dates.
These days are also known as ‘off-timetable’ days and replace our structured classroom lessons with activities used to strengthen the practical application of skills and provide a deeper learning experience.
On Thursday 3 April 2025, we will be holding a "Drop Day" titled Eid al-Fitr.
During the day we will be looking at the celebration of Eid as well as Ramadan and the decorations and food of Eid.
