GHLL Training programme

A three hour course which will enable participants to gain a wider understanding, for themselves and others, of some issues surrounding mental health and how they might support the young people they work with.

Course Overview

C&YP with sensory processing difficulties may find everyday experiences unpleasant or even overwhelming.  This can leave school staff disempowered and anxious, especially when the child or young person does not respond to their attempts to regulate.  This full day workshop aims to provide up-to-date information in relation to emotional regulation, sensory processing, sensory interventions and therapeutic spaces.

Following on from the publishing of our FREE Planning and Resource Pack for Relationships and Sex Education, we are offering a half day training session to provide teachers with the knowledge and confidence to plan and deliver a progressive programme of RSE across the primary age range.

Led by GHLL Lead Teachers, the session will cover:

*Current statutory requirements for RSE, including policies and curriculum

*Understanding the importance of good RSE teaching

*Clear guidance for good classroom practice, including ideas for activities

*Suggestions for dealing with awkward questions, setting ground rules and managing parental concerns

If your setting has already collected their new RSE Resource please bring it with you. Alternatively if it has not been collected, please let us know when booking so we can make sure it is there for you on the day.

Relationships and sex education (RSE) should be delivered by competent and confident educators.

This new resource has been written and collated by lead teachers from GHLL and a specialist sexual health nurse. It is suitable for Key Stages 3, 4 and 5.

GHLL offers this course for delivery of Secondary RSE to support the continued professional development (CPD) of teachers, PSHE leads, school nurses, youth workers and others involved in teaching RSE and providing one-to-one advice to children and young people.

The training shows guidelines in what to deliver in the Secondary RSE programme, sample lessons, some resources available, useful links, and PowerPoints. Also, guidance on how to deal with sensitive issues.

The course will take staff through the resource showing how it can be used by new staff in it’s entirety or as a pick and mix for those with more experience who want information and resources for a specific area.

It will allow staff to deliver the RSE programme with confidence. It will also give suggestions on the essential RSE polices and information to parents.

This MHFA course will teach you how to:

• Spot the early signs of a mental health problem in young people
• Feel confident helping a young person experiencing a problem
• Provide help on a first aid basis
• Help protect a young person who might be at risk of harm
• Help prevent a mental health illness from getting worse
• Help a young person recover faster
• Guide a young person towards the right support
• Reduce the stigma of mental health problems

Suicide Prevention resource ‘Beyond Fed Up’ has been written by teachers for teachers, with the intention of enabling classroom teachers to tackle this sensitive subject. It aims to help young people understand their own mental health, to build resilience, know ways in which they can support other young people who are having a difficult time and to recognise when they need to seek help.

A valuable training opportunity as part of our response to what CYP have said in the OPS about emotional health and wellbeing as well as something that will count towards schools accreditation for GHLL. This course will lift the lid on the mystery that surrounds mental health and shows teachers and support staff how to deliver sessions that encourage children to talk about mental health.

Delegates will each receive a copy of The Primary Mental Health Handbook. It is a very comprehensive resource with background reading and information, a DVD and lesson plans for Key Stage 2. The handbook contains all the worksheets and plans that may be photocopied and staff attending the training will have the opportunity to try out some of the activities to enable them to feel more confident.

Please note that the £30 GHLL charge for this course is a contribution towards the cost of the Primary Mental Health Handbook.

                     This interactive CPD session shares the implementation, and outcomes, of GHLL’s positive playtimes practice. With the introduction of zoned playgrounds, that directly link to the ‘5 ways of wellbeing’, incidents of isolation and poor behaviour have dropped dramatically. These zones not only provide a wellbeing boost for all pupils, but also through planning with the midday supervisors, enable more vulnerable pupils to get targeted boosts in their specific areas of need. This Positive Playgrounds practice not only gives schools the tools to target pupils who need wellbeing boosts, but also shares what wellbeing is, why it is important and how to assess the wellbeing impact you currently have on your pupils.

Get ready to connect, be active, know yourselves, learn something new and give your time!

Gloucestershire Healthy Living and Learning have been offered a unique opportunity to invite secondary teachers and lecturers to visit Gloucester Crown Court whilst it is in session. This will provide educational professionals with a unique insight into the English Criminal Justice system, support and inform the teaching of The Law, PSHE and Citizenship. As you know our ‘Getting Court’ scheme has been offering this opportunity for students for many years. Judge Lawrie is very keen to offer teachers the same chance! There will be an opportunity for teachers to ask questions of Judge Lawrie during the morning.

Message to all teachers from Judge Jamie Tabor:

“Getting Court has now been running for 5 years. Different schools attend Gloucester Crown Court each month and learn about the rule of law and how the Criminal Justice System works. They watch real cases and see real defendants being sentenced. Sometimes they observe a jury returning with a verdict.

What has become very clear is that teachers who themselves attend know very little about how the Criminal Justice System works and those who have attended have found the morning both interesting and rewarding. I am passionate about explaining to all-comers how the system works, how it affects everyday life, its strengths and weaknesses and the type of people who find themselves in the dock.

Please come along to Court. I think you will find it personally interesting, and it will give you information to help keep young people informed about our judicial system”.

 Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis, initially at one place per school/college. If you would like to attend this event at Gloucester Crown Court on Friday 9th February then please email ghll@gloucestershire.gov.uk with the name of the person who would like to attend.
