Melksham 0-19 Resilience Project Update: Building Stronger Community Connections

The Melksham 0-19 Resilience Project, highlighted at the Community Area Board on May 12, 2011, aims to enhance emotional coaching and consistent approaches to self-regulation across local schools and services. This initiative involves collaboration with educational institutions, children's centers, and police, focusing on training staff and youth workers. Notable figures, including Professor Sir Al Aynsley-Green, commend the project's efforts to nurture children’s resilience. Future steps include expanding involvement, seeking funding, and evaluating the project's impact on the community.

  7. Sir Al Aynsley-Green – former Children’s Commissioner ‘I am fascinated by the Melksham project since it seeks to achieve much of what I was trying to articulate in my speech ‘Should the nurture of children be everybody’s business?’ I also respect immensely Wiltshire Council’s Area Board concept, in trying to build resilient communities, and this model is one that I can see has immense implications, if successful, for rolling out into other places.’
