Calling all #Oxfordshireschools! We are very excited to launch a competition today for ONE lucky Oxfordshire school to win 12 months' access to our Emotionally Healthy Schools (EHS) platform, completely FREE OF CHARGE! Our mission is to enable all children to have access to appropriate mental health support, and our EHS platform was designed with exactly that in mind. An online resource for WHOLE SCHOOLS, which goes beyond the counselling room, and gives ALL staff the confidence and skills to recognise and act appropriately where a child is demonstrating the need for additional support. Rolled out to over 40 schools in Oxfordshire already, we are actively seeking funding to enable more schools to adopt this programme across the county. To find out more and to enter the competition for your school, please click here: clear-sky.org.uk/competition-ti…

We are really looking forward to this year's Power of Play Conference! This year's theme is Bodily Regulation in Creative Arts Therapies. As therapeutic professionals, we talk a lot about emotional regulation - but what about bodily regulation? Most of us don't think about bodily regulation because when it's working well, it's invisible. Our bodies just... work. But watch this short video where Sarah Lloyd (creator of the BUSS® Model, and Keynote Speaker at the Power of Play Conference 2026) helps us understand why bodily regulation matters SO much - and what happens for children when it's not working well. The key insight: You can't build emotional regulation on top of poor bodily regulation. When a child's body is constantly sending confusing signals, everything else becomes harder - relationships, play, and learning. In Sarah's keynote at The Power of Play Conference, you'll: ✨ Explore foundation sensorimotor systems through hands-on games ✨ Understand the BUSS® Model as a clinical approach ✨ Hear from parents who've seen real transformation ✨ Review the evidence base ✨ Learn how this connects to play and attachment ✨ Discover how to sequence therapeutic interventions April 11, 2026, Oxfordshire Do you want to learn more about the power of good bodily regulation?
