Hello all, we’ve just had a query from an NVR practitioner who’ll be working with a family from Hong Kong living in the UK. They were wondering if there are any Cantonese speakers following who might be able to assist with some translating? If so, please let us know.
If you weren’t able to attend the NVR International Conference this year, you can purchase the recordings for €99 (proceeds will be donated to The United World College Maastricht & B4HP - Bridges for Hope and Peace).

Families are turning to journalists to raise awareness and tell their story.
A decade of behaviourist education policy which rolled back compassion, eroded children’s rights, undermined parental voice as vexatious.
It must not continue.
Too many of us whose kids experienced the sharp end are not believed. Even when we share it with our friends, they don’t believe it.
Because it’s inconceivable this happens to our kids in our schools in 2024.
3 years ago I began investigating abuse in so-called calming rooms at Whitefield special school – after 500 hours of CCTV was discovered
Now I’ve obtained the footage - children are pushed into rooms, pinned up against walls with rugby pads and left in vomit
