SEND Workforce Development

emmapotts4 — 2024-09-09 10:28:48 UTC

SEND Workforce Development - E-Learning - Parental Access

Background

For a while now LPCF have been involved with Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) and partners in developing access to core induction skills and knowledge modules of learning for Special School and Mainstream staff.

During the process LPCF suggested that the training provided should not be restricted to staff but should also be made available to parents as part of the E-Learning process.
LCC have had the foresight, in the spirit of co-production, to accept this and approve parents access to complete the seven modules available.

E-Learning

SEND Workforce Development - Induction Tier

What is Inclusion?
What is Inclusion? (Bonus Content).
Respecting Individuals.
Awareness of Neuro-Typical Child.
SEND Code of Practice.
Working with Professionals.
Types of SEND.

How does a parent benefit from the training?

In allowing parents to participate it helps with that goal of helping parents become their own professionals, through enhanced skills and knowledge. As one parent recently advocated at a LPCF Coffee Event (paraphrasing)
"If you take up all the training available it brings two major benefits :-
1. When you have tried things and speak the language used with a good knowledge -Professionals really do listen.
2. Your child will only see a Paediatrician or Occupational Therapist (OT) etc. for a very short time - You are there as a parent 24/7 for life"
LPCF might add that knowing the training Professionals can undertake should also make parents aware of what/how they should be delivering to families.

Since places are limited LCC have put a minor condition in place, which is that only parents registered with LPCF may apply and applications will go through LPCF to ensure that applications are managed and coordinated.
