This morning the team explored the No More Bullies game 🧩
Anna, Lis and Nicole found it a really engaging and thought-provoking resource — ideal for primary-aged children and a great way to open up conversations about keeping each other safe.
What stood out was how the game encourages children to think about situations from different perspectives — not just the child being bullied, but also the child displaying bullying behaviour. This really helps to build understanding, empathy, and discussion around choices and consequences.
It sparked some really interesting conversations and showed how a simple, interactive activity can have a big impact 💬
The No More Bullies game is available as part of our library stock, so workforce members can borrow it to use in their own settings.
Definitely one to consider if you’re working with children and want a practical, engaging way to support learning around safety, kindness, and wellbeing.

Want to know more about... improving the health of learning disabled and autistic adults
Thursday 2 July 2026, 11am to midday

Creating a healthy lifestyle isn't just about physical fitness; it’s about empowerment, autonomy, and finding joy in wellbeing. For learning disabled and autistic adults, navigating health and wellbeing can often come with unique barriers such as sensory processing differences, navigating complex healthcare systems and inaccessible information.

At this webinar we will be discussing the barriers many people face, and practical ways we can all work together to make healthy living more accessible for everyone.

- insights from the food and nutrition workshop
- insights from delivering health and wellbeing sessions for learning disabled and autistic adults
- the importance of individualised interventions
- the involvement of the individual’s circle of support
- wellbeing duty: the need to support healthy choices
- This online session will be delivered by:

Emma Strachan, Health Improvement Specialist (Food and Nutrition), Leeds City Council Public Health team and Al Mayes, Healthy Lifestyles Project Manager, People in Action

💉 Leeds 400: Protecting health through immunisation
As we mark , it’s a chance to reflect on how far we’ve come in preventing illness across our communities.
Then: limited vaccines, higher rates of infectious disease, and reduced access
Now: comprehensive immunisation programmes protecting people across the life course
📢 The workforce plays a vital role in promoting vaccine confidence and uptake.
📍 At the PHRC Health Library, we support you with:
✔️ Up‑to‑date immunisation leaflets for patients and communities
✔️ Reliable, evidence-based information to support conversations
✔️ Resources to promote prevention and reduce inequalities
👉 Leaflets are available free with PHRC membership
Together, we can continue to protect the health of Leeds for generations to come.

Want To Know More About... Mental Health Survival Toolkit resource
14th July, 12:30pm to 1:15pm
Teenagers in Leeds are being encouraged to reflect on what helps them when life feels overwhelming or they are struggling with their mental wellbeing by creating their own Survival Toolkit.

A new interactive resource has been produced to support professionals working with young people (such as youth workers, teachers or community workers) to run group work sessions to help young people create their own digital or physical toolkit. For more information visit the Survival Toolkit on the MindMate website

This webinar will cover:

how the idea was created by a MindMate Ambassador, and how she uses the concept personally
how this was developed into an interactive resource for professionals working with young people
practical advice about delivering a group session using the toolkit resource
how Time for Young People, an emotional wellbeing service, can support young people who want to explore the concept further
Please note – the resource is not aimed at primary aged children as it refers to mobile phones, social media etc, however the concept can be applied still, so if you work with this age group you can attend and then create your own simple resource.

This webinar will be delivered by Charlotte Hanson (Advanced Health Improvement Specialist, Public Health - Leeds City Council), Hope (MindMate Ambassador) and Kieran Fowler (Time for Young People, The Children’s Society)

We’re pleased to share a new addition to our library collection:
What is Consent? Why is it Important? And Other Big Questions

Through clear explanations and practical insights, the book helps to:
✅ Break down what consent really means

✅ Support more confident, informed conversations
✅ Provide a useful resource for working with children, young people and adults
Whether you work directly with residents or simply want to deepen your understanding, this is a valuable resource to support safe, respectful and informed practice across Leeds.
