TISCUK recognises the importance of the commitment and determination of the whole staff team to fully embed any approach or cultural change. The Whole Staff Training is designed to support whole setting implementation of trauma informed and mentally healthy practices into schools and organisations, ensuring that staff have the knowledge, skills and understanding to optimise the well-being of both adults and children/young people in their school/setting. Delegates will learn key relational approaches and interventions to positively impact the whole school/setting culture.

It is available as a 3 or 6 hour session. The longer session offers more opportunity to explore practical skills and experiential learning. 

The optional Part 2 builds on the previous learning and is designed to be delivered two terms after the Part 1 (3 or 6 hr). The focus is on relational skills for staff and implementation, and you will gain deeper insight into key skills and practical strategies for developing positive relationships with children and young people.

This course is officially CPD accredited by the CPD Standards Office, with 3 or 6 hours of CPD awarded upon completion.

"I can honestly say that it was, by far, the best, most insightful, profoundly moving, expertly evidenced, endlessly interesting and fascinating, relevant and (as I’m sure will be testified to before long) most useful training I have received in my teaching career."
