Specialist Inclusion Support Service (SISS) Training

 

Introduction
Welcome to the Specialist Inclusion Support Service’s training information for 2019-2020. In 2018-19 we have been supporting schools and settings in Solihull to develop staff knowledge and expertise in a range of SEND, through providing a variety of staff training and professional development opportunities. This year we have been focusing on Speech Language and Communication, with several schools taking part in an ELKLAN pilot project so that they can become Communication Friendly schools, with their own accredited Lead Practitioner. The impact of the training and the hard work of all involved has been fantastic. The ‘Working Together to Develop children’s communication and Language Skills’ course, run jointly with the Speech and Language Therapy Service, has once again been a huge success, with real impact on outcomes for schools, children and families. This is in addition to supporting AET (Autism Education Trust) Leads and MHFA (Mental Health First Aid) practitioners to embed good practice in their schools and settings to ensure the needs of children and young people with autism and mental health needs are met.

Training to support children and young people with SEMH needs continues to be an area of demand and has been highly rated by delegates The Relationship Based Play Approach training has had very positive feedback and will be offered again this year, in addition to a new central training course, to support parents and carers of children with SEMH needs. The SENCo training course offered to new SENCo’s or SENCo’s new to Solihull continues to receive excellent reviews. We have expanded on this offer for next year, with our new Teaching Assistant Toolbox course, I know many schools will want to do this as school based training, which is also available as part of our bespoke offer.

In addition, our range of tailored ‘in house’ professional development opportunities has once again proved very popular. This continued professional development can be delivered to individual schools, organisations or groups of schools, such as collaboratives. We can devise a package with you, based around your key priorities for development. This could be for a whole or part of a training day, or a series of sessions.

Please contact the Training Administrator on 0121 704 6690 or email
sisstraining@solihull.gov.uk, we will be happy to respond to any of your queries or to discuss any of your training and development needs.

All of us at SISS look forward to working with you again in the forthcoming year.
Paula Thompson, Team Manager SISS.
