It is primarily aimed at teachers in Year 5 and/or Year 6, although teachers in Years 3 and 4 would also benefit. It is suitable for both experienced teachers and those new to the profession, or new to KS2.

Headteachers are invited to attend the first morning session, free of charge, with their teachers to ensure that key messages are clear and consistent across the school. 

It is the responsibility of all to act and lead by example in ways that support equality and diversity.  Successful organisations are the ones that reflect the richness of diversity in their workforce that exists in their local community. It takes account of people of different ages, appearances, genders, origins, cultures, race, geographical locations, health and mental health, relationships, sexual orientations, class, religion and beliefs, political beliefs, social and economic status and those with or without responsibilities for dependents. However, to be successful an organisation must first look to and understand its organisational culture.

Organisational culture refers to the collective beliefs and principles of an organisation. Every organisation has a unique culture and gives it a sense of direction which decides and controls the way its workforce behave among themselves and to those outside their organisation. Without understanding what its collective beliefs and principles are, an organisation could experience poor staff engagement, retention and services.

You will need to bring your own lap top on the day.

This course will explain the role of the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and to give practitioners the skills to undertake the role within a childcare setting. The course facilitates achieving excellence in Child Protection and Safeguarding by giving tools to embed this into an establishment's organisational culture.

Please ensure you are familiar with the Continuum of Need and the Indicators, the Prevent Duty guidance and Information on British Values, all attached for your information.

There is an expectation that as the DSL you know the signs, indicators and pre-disposing risk factors of abuse. If you are unsure of these please ensure you access the online safeguarding children course before you attend this training. You can access this training by clicking on the Elearning tab at the top of this page.

If you have already attended this training and need to update your training you must attend the EYFS: Designated Safeguarding Leads Training for Childcare Settings – Refresher Training. The refresher course has been reviewed to support experienced DSL's who have attended the initial training. This initial course is specifically designed to meet the needs of new DSL's.

There are 2 bespoke workshops, split over consecutive weeks, carers are required to attend both and there are limited places available. Lunch will be provided at both workshops.

Workshop 1 An Introduction to the Different Types of Inclusive Play

This will focus on our relationship to play, the different possibilities within inclusive play. We will also look at the benefits of play
and why we play. We will explore sensory play and different ways of attuning with children in relation to their differing needs.

Workshop 2 Multisensory Storytelling

In this workshop, we will continue to explore sensory play and introduce multisensory storytelling that is easy for the whole family to take part in
together.

This is a briefing and networking session for school governors about external funding opportunities. The session will cover:

• identifying funders and using resources to find funders
• overview of "go to" funders for schools
• Getting bid ready and looking at practicalities before you apply
• How to write a strong application, with worked drafts available
• frequently asked questions

The briefing will be delivered by East Sussex County Council’s Funding Advice Team who provide advice and support to community groups, charities and schools. With around 30 years’ experience within the team, they have helped all sorts of not for profits secure funding for different types of projects from different funders.

The meetings enable Health and Safety Co-ordinators to network across the county and share good practice.

This course is for you if you want to be able to create electronic notebooks to store and organise notes you collect from the web or other documents in your filing system. You can use a Notebook to plan a project, assemble research resources for a report you are writing, or just to store ideas and information you would normally jot down on paper. Notebooks can be shared with others, allowing you to easily collaborate on projects.
