Description

Training Content:

This training explores the conversations that you sometimes need to have if a child is not making the progress in their learning or behaviour that you would expect. First, we will look at your own communication and interaction skills. Are you a good listener and how do you show that to the parent you are talking to? How do you know if they are listening to you in turn and what can you do to remove barriers to their understanding and acceptance?

Next, we will look at the difficult conversations you can plan for. What can you do to ensure the best possible outcomes for the child and their family? What part can you play in starting or maintaining a process of discovery about the child’s strengths, difficulties and needs?

And finally, we will consider the unplanned conversations you may encounter with frustrated, worried or even angry parents. How can you be ready to respond with professionalism and how can you keep yourself safe from harm and accusation?

Time needed:

It will take you up to 8 hours to complete the online self-guided study, practical activities and webinars.
