Essentials in Communication and Co-production with Parents/Carers is an interactive and unique 4-hour virtual or 6-7 hour in person, CPD-certified training founded on lived experience, research and best practice. This course is for practitioners and staff working within SEND settings or working with families of children with SEND. 

Please contact us to discuss how we could provide this training to your staff/organisation. 

Difficult conversations, challenging situations and complex cases can create an adversarial culture which flips between boxing gloves and a tug of war. With emotions high, resources stretched and sometimes incompatible expectations, this engaging and inspiring course will look at how to bridge the gap between families of children with SEND and practitioners. Using lived experience, research and best practice, it will explore small, inexpensive and meaningful ways to increase effective communication, engagement and collaboration with Parent/Carers.
