Vaping (the use of electronic cigarettes, e-cigarettes or ‘vapes’) has become a growing issue for many parents across the country.
This session will provide up-to-date and accurate information on the use of e-cigarettes and vaping, including the potential harms associated with the use of these devices, particularly young people.
Practical advice will also be provided on how to talk to young people about vaping, as well as some possible responses that parents can use should their child attempt to challenge them in this complex area.

Body safety education for parents and carers
As parents it’s so important we understand that not everyone is a safe person for our children. Teaching children about body safety and consent from an early age will help them to develop respectful relationships as they grow into adults, and be more considerate of others knowing that everyone has the right to feel safe.
Body safety and consent education aims to empower children with skills and knowledge that will reduce the likelihood of them becoming victims of childhood sexual abuse.
