Outreach Training
Over the last three years we have offered training and ongoing support for local partners, at a range of levels, from nursery up to college, both in the education system and beyond, including local youth services and charities, as can be seen below.
This training has included welcoming our partners to engage with specialist training that we have organised, as detailed above, and offering ongoing external supervision on a half termly basis, to support our colleagues in their wellbeing and help develop their skills in Attachment and Trauma Informed Practice (ATIP).
It has also involved our in-house training team going out into the local community to develop excellent practice in other provisions, so as many staff as possible are utilising the ATIP principles we believe have a significant positive impact on pupil outcomes.
We have delivered training on all the content that has been briefly described on this site, plus other, more specialised content, particularly focusing on setting up a culture of supervision. We are always very keen to find new partners to collaborate with so please do contact us (details at the bottom of the page) if you think that some of the content described would be useful in your setting and would like to know more!
