Working with Children & Young People

I am not one for making new year's resolutions; it feels like an unnecessary pressure and anyway, why does the date make a difference to my intentions? However, I definitely think that after "recharging" over the holiday period (and unlike many, I have been lucky enough to take a long break) this is a good time to reflect on where I'm at...
