NSCP Training Strategy
This Training Strategy is currently under review. BOOK ONTO A COURSE TODAY
Guidance in Chapter 1 of Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018 requires the NSCP to "monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of training, including multi-agency training, for all professionals in the area" (para. 1.4).

The quality assurance process is designed to be undertaken in the spirit of improving and sharing best practice in safeguarding children training across Norfolk. Feedback given will be evidence-based, constructive and focused on positive development of training opportunities.

The system will ask you to create an account for your organisation. You can then add more than one course from the same account if you have further courses you wish to submit for quality assurance. This initial stage is self-assessment based and you will be asked a series of questions. Submissions will then be reviewed by a member of the Safeguarding Children Partnership's Workforce Development Group and feedback will be given via email. A random selection of applications will then be selected for review of materials and course observation.

If you have any queries please contact the NSCP Training Team: nscbtraining@norfolk.gov.uk

An Introduction to Essential Writing

About the course

Are high-quality writing outcomes a priority in your school? Are you looking for a fully resourced, tightly sequenced scheme of work to support your teachers and learners? This FREE webinar will provide an introduction to HFL Education's new writing curriculum, Essential Writing, that aims to take the hassle out of planning, ensure rigor in approach and inject joy into teaching and learning.

Essential Writing is built on the foundations of an understanding of purpose and audience, enabling children to focus on the language choices that will underpin their ability to write effectively.

Along with long-term planning for Years 1 - 6, each writing unit is based on high-quality literature that is expertly pitched to study the craft of writing and/ or to inspire high quality writing outcomes. Each lesson is designed to build on the last and each unit fits into a sequential overview that gradually introduces grammar, spelling and composition skills. The units are carefully designed to build children's vocabulary and oracy and provide suggested written and verbal models.

This free webinar will provide an overview of the scheme to best enable effective and swift implementation in the autumn term.

Learning Outcomes

to understand the core principles underpinning the development and rationale of Essential Writing

to equip the school with an overview of the core texts to be studied in each year group across the academic year

Who is this course for?

Those appointed to be the mental health lead for a school or college. The senior mental health lead is established in their role and/or has completed comprehensive senior mental health leadership training prior to coming on this course.

About the course contents

The course itself starts with a module discussing the essence of the full role (as determined by the Department for Education), before moving onto a module on ethos and culture for staff and pupils. The following modules focuses on leadership and management of the topic, pupil voice, engagement with parents, carers, the community and the staff body, staff wellbeing and mental health, including overcoming difficulties in working with others. The final part focuses on reflecting on available local mental health services for pupils, in addition to a module on understanding the mental health and wellbeing requirements in the curriculum.

Online learners self-study 10-15 minute videos to work through the contents. They are set reflective and self-study activities by the tutor to facilitate the learning and are expected to work through these as they complete the modules.

Modules:

Understanding the Role

Ethos and Culture

Leadership and Management

Pupil Voice

Parents, Carers and Community

Staff Support and Development

Mental Health Interventions

Targeted Approach

Assessment

When participants complete the course they automatically receive a digital certificate of attendance. To become a qualified mental health lead there is a portfolio to complete, leading to a Level 4 Certificate in Mental Health Aware Leadership.

As learners work through the course, at the end of each module they are encouraged to complete activities to support the embedding of the learning to their work. In addition, learners complete some self-study of a topic relevant to them or their setting.

This portfolio is based on the Department for Education outcomes for Designated Mental Health Lead training and the portfolio assesses the ability of the participant to be able to perform the competencies identified (or oversee them where that function is undertaken by others) to enable us to qualify them for the role. It can take 3-5 years to embed the learning from the course, so the portfolio allows participants to identify how they would do it, or how they liaise with others to monitor the implementation of the particular skill.

The DfE expectations of the competencies of the role can be downloaded from the DfE at https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/995681/Learning_outcomes_for_senior_mental_health_leads_in_schools_and_colleges.pdf. It is important that time is set aside to complete the portfolio if a participant wishes to, as there are a large number of outcomes set by the DfE.

Learners reflect on activities in their portfolio, by responding to the questions in there. Guidance is available on the expectations on the response to each. These need to be returned within 7 months of the course start.

To help people understand these requirements, we have included a sample completed portfolio below.

A collaborative conference bringing together leaders of professional development, leaders of teams and anyone interested in developing themselves or others as evaluative, empowered practitioners

Who is it for? Trust leaders, school senior leaders, NPQ participants past and present, TDT members past and present, TDT Delivery and CPD Partners

When is it? Tuesday 30th January 2024

Where is it? Central London, full date face to face

Register your interest and we will keep you posted as the plan for the day develops and registration opens.

Attracting, developing and retaining great teachers and leaders is critical to building a brighter future for all children and young people across the country, regardless of background, challenge or need.

The best leaders always recognise that their greatest asset is people, but in a challenging and ever changing landscape even the best laid professional development plans can go astray.

In 2018, Bridget Clay and David Weston published 'Unleashing Great Teaching', setting out a practical, evidence based and highly accessible approach to unleashing the very best in our teachers, day by day, month by month, year by year.

Since then our schools, educators, children and families have weathered a pandemic, industrial action, widening social inequalities, mental health issues on the rise in adults and children. The policy backdrop to this has seen the role of multi academy trusts and Ofsted evolving, increasing funding challenges, the introduction of the Golden Thread of teacher development, a recruitment and retention crisis, major Initial Teacher Training (ITT) and Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) reviews and increasing school absence.

Never have we needed to support, nurture and develop our teachers and leaders more, both in terms of their practice and wellbeing.

On 30th January 2024 in central London, TDT is bringing together school and system leaders, policy makers and academics to revisit the key messages of Unleashing Great Teaching in the light of what we know now, for a day of discussion, critical engagement with research, reflection, collaboration and action. We would love you to be a part of it.

Register your interest in attending here and we will keep you updated as the agenda develops and registration opens.

The Government is set to bring forward a review of how Relationships and Sex Education is being taught in schools.
Would you like to feel more confident that your school's approach to RSHE meets current requirements?

Encouraging positive and healthy personal development is one of the central roles of children's education in England. There is an overlap between RSHE education and a school's responsibility for pastoral support and to support children's personal development. Many schools across Norfolk have embedded a high-quality, effective provision which is evidencable in several recent local Ofsted inspections.
We recognise the concerns that recent media attention to this pivotal curriculum has created and are pleased to be providing a virtual support session for SLT, RSHE Leads and school governors to clarify the requirements of the RSHE Guidance on a whole-school approach and the curriculum, including resourcing.
This interactive session will be delivered by Josie Rayner-Wells, former National RSHE Adviser, to clarify the current requirements on schools, provide live debate to the key issues that current media attention has created, offer reassurances and top tips for effective approaches so you can be fully confident in your school provision.
To protect a safe, secure environment for school leaders to collaborate and address their concerns, the session will not be recorded.

Attendance at this session will enable school leaders to:

Be confident in their fulfilment of the legal requirements

Take effective approaches to positive parental engagement

Know how to manage any parental complaints.

The session will be hosted by Josie Rayner-Wells, Senior Adviser for Early Intervention and Prevention, and former National RSHE Adviser, with Alice Ndiaye, Inclusion Adviser: RSHE. For any further details/enquiries about the course please contact
A reminder will be emailed to you the last working day before the training date.

The Critical Incident Support Service provides support to schools, academies, subscribing independent schools and Early Years settings in a Critical Incident.

The Critical Incident Service can be accessed by phoning the Critical Incident Support Line, which is operated by a pager company who takes a message (please provide your name, phone number and a very brief outline of the issue) and then passes it on to the Critical Incident Lead via text.

Critical Incident Support Line (07623 912974)
The Critical Incident Officer will be able to guide you through the process of alerting other key services and will offer advice on how to deal with the immediate impact of a critical incident. A range of other key individuals and services can be alerted. Foremost among these will be education professionals trained in trauma management and psychological support, who will support you as you come to terms with the consequences of a critical incident.

A Critical Incident is defined as "an event or events, usually sudden, which involve the experience of significant personal distress to a level which potentially overwhelms normal responses, procedures and coping strategies, and which is likely to have emotional and organisational consequences."

An example of a critical incident may be the unexpected death of a child or an adult closely associated with the school/setting. Equally, it may be an event causing injuries which result in temporary or long-term disablement. In case of an expected death of a member of the child or member of staff you can use the Critical Incident Support Line if an urgent response is required, otherwise please use the contact numbers listed under consultation below.

This is what headteachers said: "Being able to talk about the situation as a head was invaluable." "Until I was in the situation, I didn't appreciate how many decisions needed to be taken and how significant the impact could be if we got them wrong. The support was excellent, and we needed every bit of it."

Inspiration Trust Teaching School Hub NPQs

# data[].attributes.body
New from Autumn 2022: Early Years Leadership, and Leading Literacy

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
National professional qualifications (NPQs) are a national, voluntary suite of qualifications designed to support the professional development of teachers and school leaders. They are trusted, transferable qualifications accredited by the Department for Education and they are designed to equip teachers with the expertise to lead sustainable improvement across their schools.

With the NPQs schools and trusts can have confidence that all their educators, from classroom teachers to leaders of multiple schools, are building and developing their practice from the same evidence-based framework.

Specialist NPQs

Rather than a whistle-stop tour of all the problems and challenges of middle leadership, the four specialist NPQs each provide significant depth on those issues most relevant to teachers' roles, interests and common challenges.
These courses take 12 months to complete.

Leadership

The leadership NPQs have been reformed to a new and more flexible format since September 2021. The content has been adapted based on an evidence base from the Education Endowment Fund (EEF) and seeks to map out what best practice means for school leadership, in a move that takes these NPQs away from a more generic approach to leadership.
These courses take 18 months to complete.

Programme Model

The programme will use 'see it, name it, do it' as an organisational structure for scaffolding learning to the point of mastery. The model is a highly applied and personalised approach coined by the internationally renowned Leverage Leadership Institute.

See it: The approach goes beyond theory by using current, real-life models of exemplary practice.

Name it: By identifying features of exemplary practice, the invisible is made visible. Participants reflect on their current practice and name their 'gaps'.

Do it: Participants are guided through implementation planning with time for practice, peer feedback and the use of gap tasks.

Each NPQ is underpinned by a new content framework. These frameworks set out what participants should know and be able to do after completing an NPQ, and providers have used these to design their courses.
National Professional Qualification Frameworks: from May 2022
Our Lead Provider

We are proud to offer the reformed NPQ programmes in partnership with the School-Led Network. Together, we offer a suite of unique programmes that are underpinned by theory, mapped for progression across all qualification levels, and application of learning prioritised to facilitate successful implementation.
For more information on our programmes, please visit www.school-led.org.uk
Inspiration Teaching School Hub have been working in partnership with education charity Ambition Institute to deliver the full suite of NPQs to our November 2021 cohort.

Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs)

Safeguarding in education Designated Safeguarding Lead training - updated every two years

Family Support Process training - at least one DSL per setting, refreshed every two years

Norfolk Safeguarding Children Partnership (NSCP) Multi-Agency training - once every three years

Safer recruitment training - every 5 years

About the training courses

Whole school staff training - group A

We provide training resources on My School for DSLs to help them fulfil the requirement to provide safeguarding training to all school and college staff. DSLs should complete this training at least annually.

Once you have logged in to My School, select 'Staff' then 'Safeguarding - whole school training'. You will find Powerpoint presentations and clear guidance along with evaluations for staff to complete. If you have problems logging in, please contact ICT Solutions.

Safeguarding in education - Designated Safeguarding Lead training

This training provides DSL's with the knowledge and skills required to carry out the role. The training should be updated every two years.

The initial course is two days and DSLs should attend a half-day refresher every two years. You can book these courses booked through the S4S website.

Early Help Assessment and Planning (EHAP) (formerly Family Support Process (FSP)) training

At least one DSL per setting should undertake EHAP training. We recommend a refresher course every two years. Get more information and booking details on the Norfolk Safeguarding Children Partnership (NSCP) website.

Norfolk Safeguarding Children Partnership (NSCP) multi-agency training

Multi-agency courses are organised by NSCP. DSLs must be trained to the same standard to comply with local training requirements. This means all DSLs should attend a multi-agency course once every 3 years. Book through the S4S website and use the search keyword 'multiagency'.

Safer Recruitment training

Headteachers and governors should complete this training every 5 years. Book this course through the S4S website by searching for 'safer recruitment', or through the NSPCC website.

Safeguarding for governors training

This training is required as part of the induction process and at regular intervals for school governors. Book training through Training for governors and trustees, or GovernorHub for subscribing schools.

Online training package

The package covers some of the objectives from the whole school training package such as updates to statutory guidance, signs and indicators of abuse and harm, the Prevent Duty, dealing with concerns and disclosures, safer working practice and allegations against adults. The online package includes a number of activities that will need to be completed to assess understanding.

It can be used by schools and colleges if they have new staff or volunteers who start during the academic year. This will mean they likely missed the whole school face-to-face training delivered at the beginning of the year.

The online package is not intended to replace whole school face-to-face training for all staff and DSLs will need to ensure that anyone completing the online package has understood the content and are aware of the procedures within the setting. Opportunities should also be provided for all staff to regularly discuss safeguarding issues including areas for development of knowledge and skills.

The annual subscription costs are below and are based on the number of pupils on roll:

Below 150 pupils: £75 per annum

150-800 pupils: £90 per annum

Over 800 pupils: £105 per annum

We would also look to do a MAT or multi-school buy-in by totalling up the subscription cost and then giving a 10% discount.

If you would like to purchase, please go to the SLA-online website and select Norfolk County Council. Use your normal s4s log in details and you will be taken directly to the online safeguarding training package page. For support with purchasing, please email contractsteam@norfolk.gov.uk or call 01603 222686.

Once you have completed the purchase you will be sent a link, username and a unique password to access the online training package.

If you require more information about this product, please email onlinetrainingpackage@norfolk.gov.uk.

Safeguarding updates

In addition to regular training, DSLs and school staff must receive safeguarding updates at least annually, via emails, e-bulletins and staff meetings. This is to provide them with relevant skills and knowledge to safeguard children effectively.

We recommended that DSLs check eCourier weekly and share relevant safeguarding information with staff.

You can also follow us on Twitter.
