Get excited... Level 1 online Makaton training has arrived from the South Glos Early Years Team! We are living through some of the most challenging times our country has known, creating levels of anxiety and uncertainty not experienced for over 70 years. As all of us who work in the sector know, this is even more acutely felt by those with a learning disability or communication need. This is a learning curve for all of us.

This network is for experienced practitioners, leaders or room leaders who would like to develop and improve their Pre-school Room environment in readiness for children to learn and have fun.

Through this network we will explore child development, new ways to support early language development and ideas to provide a rich stimulating environment that you can put into practice straight away. We will be discussing current thinking, theorists and research to enhance our knowledge to provide an enabling, fun environment for all of the children in your pre-school rooms, both inside and outside.

We would like this to be a forum which meets your needs so please suggest any ideas for further focus and discussion which we can develop together.

Please come ready to play, get involved, and have fun as well as being eager to discuss and share new ideas.

This blended half day course has been developed in direct response to the current Covid 19 situation, and is designed specifically for online delivery to smaller groups of participants. It covers what self-harm is, and why people might hurt themselves, as well as providing space to think about what a helpful response to someone who has hurt themselves might be. It has a strong emphasis on bringing the voices of people who use self-harm to the virtual room, and provides space and time for reflection. This course has been developed to either stand alone or complement others in a series of events, and utilises a range of tools to offer a participative online training experience.

Worksheets, handouts and copies of the presentation will be available to complement learning.
