CPD & Training Courses

For some pupils, attending school can be very anxiety-provoking. This session explains Salford’s EBSA Pathway, the research around EBSA and the recommended information gathering tools and core approaches staff can use to increase attendance as part of a graduated response.  

 Information about Salford’s EBSA Pathway can be found on the Partnerships In Salford website.

October will see the return of our SEMH practitioner CPD. We are looking for teachers, HLTAs and SENDCOs with an interest in SEMH to undergo more in-depth training over the academic year on classroom based strategies to support a full range of SEMH needs. This will include Attachment Difficulties, ADHD, ASC, Sensory, Anxiety, Emotional Dysregulation, Social Skills, and effective behaviour management. The training will require a day per half term and will also create opportunities for the problem solving of case studies from your schools and a support network of SEMH specialist practitioners within Salford. We hope that those completing the course will be able to support the development of whole school practice and be a first port of call for staff for SEMH Support. 

Dates for the course are:

Session 1 – 14th October 2022 – Buile Hill Main Hall

Session 2 - 25th November 2022 – Worsley Court

Session 3 – 13th January 2023 – Buile Hill Main Hall
