Brook Training Sessions

Sharnbrook Academy Federation are pleased to be involved with an exciting innovative project to be delivered by Brook, education & wellbeing specialists.

“Time to talk: tackling child sex exploitation” is a new training course aimed at parents to equip them with the knowledge of how to recognise the signs of child sexual exploitation, how to protect their child from this and how to have meaningful conversations with their children about healthy relationships.

Brook has been awarded a Harpur Trust grant to deliver this training for parents within Bedford Borough and we would like to invite you to attend one, or all, of the training sessions below. The sessions will be held at Oakley Primary Academy from 18:30-19:30pm, with 30 places per session, available to book on a first come, first served basis. This invitation has been extended to all parents/carers at Oakley Primary Academy, Harrold Primary Academy and Great Ouse Primary Academy.
