Our values aren’t just words on a page. They shape the decisions we make, the way we work together and, importantly, how we show up for the children, young people, families and communities we support.

💜 Compassion - people come first ALWAYS.
🎨 Creativity - it’s at the heart of everything we do.
🌱 Curiosity - we listen, learn and keep asking questions.
🤝 Collaboration - because we can achieve more together.
✨ Change - creating opportunities for young voices to be heard and things to move forward.

They’re the values that bring us together as a team, but they also influence how we build partnerships, develop our programmes and approach the work we’re proud to do every day.

And we’re very lucky to have a brilliant team of people who bring them to life. 🫶

Safeguarding and wellbeing sit at the heart of everything great schools do. 💜

That’s why we’re so pleased to have CPOMS Safeguarding, Pastoral, Wellbeing Solution supporting our Transformative Approaches to Safeguarding & Wellbeing Conference this October, as we celebrate 15 years of impact.

CPOMS works alongside schools every day to support safeguarding practice, so having them behind a day focused on practical learning, fresh thinking and better outcomes for children and young people feels like the perfect fit.

On why they are partnering:
“We're proud to be supporting Unique Voice's Transformative Approaches to Safeguarding & Wellbeing Conference as they celebrate 15 years of impact. Safeguarding and wellbeing sit at the heart of everything great schools do, and we're excited to stand alongside them to help school leaders leave with practical tools, fresh thinking and stronger connections.”

That last part really sums up what we want people to take away from the day - useful ideas, new perspectives and things you can genuinely take back into your setting.

📅 Thursday 22nd October 2026
📍 CLF Institute Russell Town Ave, Redfield, Bristol. BS5 9JH
🎟️ £37.50 per place - with every ticket helping to fund a bursary place on a Creative Holiday Club

Thank you to CPOMS for helping us make this event happen. 🙌

How do we better support boys and young men to explore what masculinity means to them?

We're delighted to announce that Lewis Wedlock will be joining us at ourTransformative Approaches to Safeguarding & Wellbeing Conference.

A Bristol-based masculinities educator, Lewis has spent the last five years working with thousands of young men and teachers across the UK, designing and delivering projects that explore ideas around masculinity.

His debut book, Masculinities in Schools, was published by Sage in 2025, and he also hosts the Masculinities with Lewis Wedlock podcast, where he explores and unpacks current thinking around masculinity.

Lewis will bring this work into the conference as part of a day designed to challenge thinking, start important conversations and give education professionals practical ideas they can take back into their settings.

📅 Thursday 22nd October
📍 CLF Institute Russell Town Ave, Redfield, Bristol. BS5 9JH
🎟️ £37.50 per place

Join Lewis and our wider line-up of speakers, practitioners and safeguarding professionals: CPOMS Safeguarding, Pastoral, Wellbeing Solution , Cabot Learning Federation , Sharon Gray OBE, Esther Lambert - to name but a few!

💫 What if creativity could become part of your safeguarding toolkit?

Safeguarding rightly involves policies, processes and procedures. But when it comes to opening up difficult conversations with children and young people, sometimes a different approach is needed.

At our Transformative Approaches to Safeguarding & Wellbeing Conference, Beyond Risk and Rule: Creativity as a Safeguarding Tool will explore how creative play, storytelling and artistic expression can create lower-pressure ways to navigate sensitive subjects.

The workshop will look at how creativity can help to:
✨ Lower defences and make difficult conversations feel safer
✨ Build emotional literacy and resilience
✨ Support earlier intervention and disclosure
✨ Give young people greater agency in their own safety
✨ Bring practical, child-centred approaches into everyday pastoral work

And importantly, this isn't about becoming an artist or finding extra budget. It's about exploring techniques that can be used with the resources already available in schools.

You'll get the chance to experience some of the activities first-hand and consider how they could work within your own setting.

We just wanted to take a little moment for World Gratitude Day. 💜

We’re always so grateful for the young people we get to work with, and feedback like this is a lovely reminder of why.

Some of the young people who joined us at one of our Creative Holiday Clubs said their standout moments were “playing with friends”, “making bugs” and “playing basketball” - which just shows how many different things they get to enjoy during one of our holiday club days.

And with young people using word such as "Amazing" when describing their day, this obviously means the world to us!

Happy World Gratitude Day to all the brilliant young people, families, schools, partners and supporters who are part of our journey. 🙏

Why is a conference like this needed right now?
👇
Because the challenges facing children, young people and the professionals supporting them are becoming more complex - while time, capacity and resources are often being stretched even further.

As Talulah puts it, we can’t keep relying on rigid, box-ticking approaches. We need space to breathe, think differently, share ideas and find practical ways forward - together.

That’s exactly what our Transformative Safeguarding & Wellbeing Conference is all about.
