Live training session

What you will learn?  

Addressing the unique challenges faced by VSHs and their staff, this session bridges the gap between care professionals and care-experienced children and young people.

We'll explore how to connect with their lived experiences while maintaining professional boundaries, fostering empathy, and ultimately, providing better support.


Learning Outcomes
Participants will have experienced, or know how to do:

 Reflective journalling: my story, your story, the child’s story

 Capturing the wins in challenging situations   

 Reaffirming relational practice as their guiding professional framework

 Starting from the outcome you desire, working back from there to the practice

 Staying on course and knowing how to forge and seal alliances for the good of others.

What our learners say about us  

These sessions helped me gain a deeper understanding of child behaviour and development. From learning about the four different ages and social development stages to decoding behaviour triggers, this platform provided invaluable insights that have transformed my approach to managing behaviour.


 
Teacher
I find this course to be an essential resource for enhancing communication and support strategies. The course on transitions and trauma highlighted the importance of forward planning, while the PACES communication toolkit has equipped me with practical tools to effectively engage with students. This platform truly empowers leaders to create positive learning environments.

social worker
This platform has been instrumental in empowering me as a virtual school leader. From understanding the theory behind behaviour to addressing age bias and involving children in decision-making, this platform offers comprehensive resources that have elevated my leadership skills. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to make a meaningful impact in the lives of their students
