Attachment Based Mentoring for Designated Teachers, SENDCos and Senior Leaders

The course provides a comprehensive overview of the key components of the Attachment Based Mentoring Approach: 

• Attachment and Relationships (being a significant adult) - The theories which underpin our understanding of effective relationships and their role in development, learning and well-being as well as developing the skills and practical strategies that we need to use in our work with children.
• Development (being a coach) - The theory and practical application of using solution focused coaching skills to support the child to identify skills and strengths and work towards what they would like to achieve.
• Practical Support (being a parent in school) - Supporting inclusion, providing information, being an advocate and how we can set and maintain boundaries with nurture and empathy, using a relational rather than behavioural approach.

The course will support participants to co-ordinate and facilitate the mentoring within school as well as developing personal skills. In addition, the course is a comprehensive guide to understanding the needs of CIC and vulnerable children and as such will help to develop practice across the school as well as supporting systemic change.

This course is aimed at designated teachers, SENCos, and senior leaders.
