No Joke!
The Thames Valley Partnership has now come to the end of its 3 year No Joke Project funded by Comic Relief. The project consisted of working with schools around the prevention of violence and abuse. As part of the whole school approach the culmination of the project is a comprehensive on-line Education Package which consists of a handbook and accompanying set of 24 Lessons Plans- see link below for the complete set.
These materials should only be used with appropriate staff training and where there is engagement with child protection agencies. All materials used should be sourced to the Thames Valley Partnership and Comic Relief and should only be distributed with prior permission from the Thames Valley Partnership.
If you would like to learn more about other support servies available, the local service directories for each area can be found listed via this link
