DISABILITIES TAKE A GIANT STEP FORWARD
On the 14th of October 2012, local girl from Hessle in East Yorkshire, KELSEY EDWARDS became one of the first disabled young people to take part in crossing a high wire suspension bridge. Kelsey a cheerful and determined young girl has cerebral palsy making it difficult for hr to walk. However, with the aid of local charity ALTITUDE ADVENTURES she was able to successfully complete the challenge. The bridge is located at HONISTER QUARRY, in the Lake District, and measures some 250 feet in length, suspended over a drop over 200 feet high. For an able bodied person it is no mean feat but with her disability Kelsey had to overcome a difficult climb to the start of the bridge, and then manage to navigate the moving bridge. This she achieved not just going one way, but also returning. The event is believed to be the first of its kind and was seen by all as a massive success, proving that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

Child Welfare Officer guidance and training | |
ERVAS and the East Riding Safeguarding Children Board have developed a short guide for Voluntary and Community Sector Child Welfare Officers. This guide highlights the roles and responsibilities of Child Welfare Officers within their club, such as ensuring that children, young people, parents, volunteers, trustees and paid staff are aware of who their Child Welfare Officer is and what they do to safeguard children attending the club. There will also be short 2 hour sessions in 2012 to go through the roles in more detail and promote the booklets.
