Training for Schools

The Family Links training for school staff offers a thorough introduction to the principles and practice of the Nurturing Programme for all those working in primary, special and some secondary schools.

The two-day inset training for teachers and teaching assistants explores ways in which positive behaviour management and the development of children's social and emotional skills can be enhanced to become part of the everyday life of the school, as well as through designated Circle Time sessions. Separate workshops are held for lunchtime supervisors.

The training reflects the Four Constructs on which the Nurturing Programme is based. Family Links trainers expect to demonstrate the Four Constructs in action throughout the training.

Trainees are involved in many activities, some of which are personally as well as professionally challenging, stimulating and rewarding. Everyone working with the Nurturing Programme needs to be reasonably comfortable with the emotional issues in their own lives, as well as those they may encounter in the lives of people they support. The training is designed to be safe, informal and enjoyable.
