Our Programmes
Strengthening Practice
The Strengthening Practice Programme is designed to support your social care practitioners to improve the lives of children, young people and families by applying evidence-informed best practice in their work.
Strengthening Managers
The Strengthening Managers Programme is designed to support your first-line managers as they nurture their team’s resilience and emotional intelligence while improving their performance and enhancing their skills.
Strengthening Care
The Strengthening Care Programme will support excellence in residential and foster care settings, with a focus on the knowledge and skills needed to provide purposeful and effective care to children and young people.
Strengthening Relational Practice
This programme has been designed to follow on from the Strengthening Practice programme, helping you to build on your team’s core skills with in-depth learning on the specific topics that matter most to your case-holding practitioners.
Strengthening Leadership
This programme is designed specifically to help Social Work Leadership and Management teams in your organisation to make a positive difference in the lives of children, young people and families.
Expert by Experience
Working closely with our lived by experience consultants, we bring a diversity
of voices into this specialist social care CPD training. Our work with people like Annie from Surviving Safeguarding and Kendra from Out of the Shadows brings challenge, reflection and change into our approach.
Early Help
The Early Help Programme is designed to support anyone who works with children at risk, prior to the stage where social workers have become involved.
Reflective Spaces
In this programme we can make space for practitioners, managers and leaders to talk though their fears and worries about working in difficult environments and to explore their own goals in a confidential setting with an experienced facilitator.
Our People
Your practitioners will never feel that our training is a one-sided process; we’ll create a space based on mutual trust and respect, where participants can reflect on practice, share knowledge and acquire new skills. With charismatic and emotionally perceptive expert trainers as models of practice, you won’t face the ‘us and them’ mentality that sometimes arises during training. Participants will feel supported and encouraged to apply evidence-informed research, knowledge and emotional wisdom to their work. They will return equipped with new tools and knowledge, feeling hopeful with renewed confidence to constantly improve.
Our training leaves nobody behind. Every learning module across our programmes involves multiple approaches to learning. Group sessions with high-quality reference materials are reinforced by individual coaching and personal diaries – spaced over time to support participants as they apply new ideas to their practice. We build helpful relationships so participants feel safe to reflect and think critically about their practice. They feel motivated and inspired to improve, and empowered to put their new skills to work.
How to commission us
Not sure how to go about commissioning training? We can support you through every step of the process. We’ll help you to prepare to commission training, formally identifying areas for improvement through a Learning Needs Assessment. If an assessment from Ofsted has put you in search of training, we construct a programme that directly addresses the key areas for improvement. We then measure the long-term results of the training to rigorously demonstrate the positive differences we’re making together. Click here to read more.
