This Layered Learning CPD Package provides an opportunity to build upon existing knowledge and is made up of three parts which are delivered in one half-day session. Each part of the package takes a different approach towards exploring the theme:

Part A: Consolidating Understanding

The recorded CPD video introduces Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA), what it can look like for individuals and explores reasons why children and young people can become persistently and severely absent from school. A brief overview of the current national picture in relation to EBSA is provided, together with a summary of research and theory related to EBSA. There will be opportunity to reflect on the impact of trauma, as well as focus on understanding the underlying needs that contribute to EBSA through case studies. We end by identifying protective factors, with a focus on the benefits of a whole school approach.

Part B: Reflective Thinking

You will be invited to be curious about yourself, the subject, and working with children and young people who are at risk of, or experience, EBSA. There is an emphasis on the process of reflection with an opportunity to share experiences, reflect on the work that you do and how you respond to the children and young people that you support. We will start to think about the impact/ influence of the work on our individual wellbeing, how we can take responsibility for taking care of ourselves, and what we as professionals can learn from this.

Part C: Resources and Signposting

We provide an opportunity for colleagues to reflect upon practical resources and strategies, including access to BEC’s ‘My Journey’ resource. We offer time and space to consider your approach to supporting children and young people, as well as focusing on your wellbeing and self-care.

*Priority will be given to school-based staff (using school emails) if the training is oversubscribed.
