SUMMARY:Tackling child sexual abuse: Preparing for the new mandatory reporting duty
DESCRIPTION:Cost plus VAT. \nThe Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse recommends that reporting of Child Sexual Abuse should become mandatory. Professionals in positions of trust and in regulated activity with children would have a legal duty to report CSA if they are told about it by the child or perpetrator\, if they witness it happening or if they observe ‘recognised indicators’.\nThe Inquiry reported the scale of the inadequate and negative responses that children and young people have faced upon making disclosures. This conference has been designed to support professionals to identify and respond to child sexual abuse\, as early as possible and in an appropriate manner. Our expert speakers will guide you through topics such as; the proposed new mandatory reporting duty\, early identification\, supporting and responding to disclosures and online facilitated sexual abuse.

They develop in the wake of common infections (such as Covid-19\, chicken pox\, influenza\, or strep A in PANDAS cases)\, when the infection subsequently causes a misdirected immune and/or neuroinflammatory response. PANS and PANDAS diagnoses are on the rise thanks to recent progress in the medical field. \nBoth PANS and PANDAS have been recognised as discrete diseases by the NHS. Multi-disciplinary professionals are currently working nationally to advance clinical care\, and to raise awareness across the board of education\, social care and health professionals. Both PANS and PANDAS can have a crippling impact on a child or young person’s education\, due both to the often-sudden onset and the wide range of areas they can affect. \nUnlike other conditions that show gradual signs\, these conditions can cause abrupt and severe unexpected learning difficulties. Limited awareness amongst professionals\, coupled with symptom overlap with Autism\, ADHD\, and anxiety disorders for example is causing low levels of wellbeing and poor educational outcomes for children and young people living with these conditions. \nGillian Mathewson\nGillian Mathewson is the PANS PANDAS UK Teacher Trainer and Representative for Scotland. She is a registered teacher\, and was formerly a Principal Teacher of Mathematics. She is also a parent with lived experience.\n \n

SUMMARY:Executive Functions: Connecting into practice - online course for educational psychologists
DESCRIPTION:Cost plus VAT \nThe course will guide you through the layers of understanding the concept of executive functions\, how we assess these skills\, and bring it all together in a formulation that makes sense. \nThe Executive Functions CPD course is lead Dr Rebecca Ashton\, an experienced Educational Psychologist specialising in neuropsychology. She has a wealth of experience working with executive functioning issues in school casework and is excited to be sharing her knowledge and understanding in this area. \nThe Executive Functions: Connecting into Practice CPD course is in an eLearning format which can be taken at your own pace\, and used as a reference guide to come back to over time. It also includes a host of useful resources which can be utilised in your practice\, reflective activities to facilitate your learning\, and a space for the EP community to ask questions and share thoughts between us. \nWhat is included? \n• Training: The course is broken down into six core chapters to increase knowledge and skills across key areas relating to executive functions and our role as an Educational Psychologist. Each module encompasses a series of subchapters\, containing short animated videos\, links and resources\, which you can view at your own pace. \n• Content Packed: Defining what we mean by executive functions at different levels of specificity\, and understanding how those functions typically develop in children\, leads us on to how we can assess those skills in individual children. You won’t need to rush out and buy lots of expensive equipment – Dr Rebecca Ashton explains how you can gather data about executive functioning in a range of ways and bring it together in a coherent formulation. The course then goes on to get you thinking about how you talk about executive functions within consultations\, in order to come to a shared understanding about areas of strength and need. And\, of course\, we will talk about interventions that might feed into your action planning. \n• Assessments: There are a range of observational\, informal and standardised assessment approaches we look at in the course\, including a number of ideas and resources that can be utilised directly from your psychological toolkit. \n• Strategies: A detailed look at a range of evidence-based and practice-based strategies and interventions\, alongside practical ideas on how we can talk about Executive Functions with consultations to gain a shared understanding and jointly formulate helpful accommodations and interventions.

The webinar will be an opportunity for EPs to familiarise themselves with RESTA and Resilience Support Organisation (RESO) and discuss the impact for students struggling to engage with education. There will be an opportunity to hear from RESTA and RESO practitioners and see some of the feedback from students.

SUMMARY:The Brain / Blame Dichotomy: Narratives and responses to children's behaviours
DESCRIPTION:As part of our Big Feelings. Big Behaviours. series\, Dr Frances Willis gives an EPs perspective on behaviour and consequence systems with her previously sold out event. \nUsing her reflections on a case study of schools seeking EP advice and support to reduce exclusions and improve engagement\, Frances welcomes you to consider the following with her: \n\nWho do typical behaviour systems not work for?\nWhat are the assumptions and narratives around young people made by behaviour systems?\nWhat does behaviour communicate?\nWhat are the implications of an inflexible behaviour system?\nHow do ACEs (adverse childhood experiences) and home lives relate to success in behaviour systems?\nWhy ‘differentiation’ is not a dirty word in behaviour systems\n\nFrances’ key reflections on this event considered that with differentiation we make the big distinction between treating everyone exactly the same or treating them fairly\, according to what they need as a person so they that they can be successful. \nBook tickets here \nHere’s some of the thoughts from previous attendees at this event: \n“It’s making people think about how to change the culture around chosen behaviour.” \n“It allows students to falling under the radar to meet the school’s requirements for participation.” \n“Great presentation!”

SUMMARY:Healing Relational Trauma with Kim Golding – Reflecting on and exploring the practice of DDP
DESCRIPTION:In this seminar Kim will explore DDP with the help of reflections and dialogues from the Healing Relational Trauma Workbook by Dan Hughes and Kim Golding. This will include providing DDP interventions with the children\, building therapeutic alliance with the parents\, and also how DDP informed parenting support can help the caregivers to emotionally connect with their children in ways which increase feelings of safety and security.\n\nWe will explore the impact of developmental trauma on the children and families and consider what is needed to help the children recover and thrive. \nWe will consider the principles central to DDP interventions and how these can inform the support we offer. Central to these will be cultivating the attitude of PACE (playfulness\, acceptance\, curiosity\, and empathy). This exploration will include reflecting on cultural variations in the attitude of PACE and working with families from cultures different to our own. \nThis will provide us with models for DDP in therapy\, in parenting and as parenting support in the moment.

SUMMARY:Reed Webinar Series: Promoting belonging for refugee children
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores the critical issue of school belonging for refugee children\, with a focus on how Educational Psychologists (EPs) and school professionals can support these children and their families. With increasing numbers of refugee and asylum-seeking children in the UK\, many face unique challenges such as trauma\, language barriers\, and cultural adjustment. A sense of belonging is crucial for their emotional wellbeing\, social integration\, and academic success. We’ll examine current research on school belonging\, practical examples of EP engagement with refugee groups\, and discuss ethical considerations when supporting refugee children. By the end of the session\, participants will gain insights into how they can help create inclusive\, supportive school environments that foster a sense of belonging for refugee children and their families.

SUMMARY:Executive Functions: Connecting into practice - online course for educational psychologists
DESCRIPTION:Cost plus VAT \nThe course will guide you through the layers of understanding the concept of executive functions\, how we assess these skills\, and bring it all together in a formulation that makes sense. \nThe Executive Functions CPD course is lead Dr Rebecca Ashton\, an experienced Educational Psychologist specialising in neuropsychology. She has a wealth of experience working with executive functioning issues in school casework and is excited to be sharing her knowledge and understanding in this area. \nThe Executive Functions: Connecting into Practice CPD course is in an eLearning format which can be taken at your own pace\, and used as a reference guide to come back to over time. It also includes a host of useful resources which can be utilised in your practice\, reflective activities to facilitate your learning\, and a space for the EP community to ask questions and share thoughts between us. \nWhat is included? \n• Training: The course is broken down into six core chapters to increase knowledge and skills across key areas relating to executive functions and our role as an Educational Psychologist. Each module encompasses a series of subchapters\, containing short animated videos\, links and resources\, which you can view at your own pace. \n• Content Packed: Defining what we mean by executive functions at different levels of specificity\, and understanding how those functions typically develop in children\, leads us on to how we can assess those skills in individual children. You won’t need to rush out and buy lots of expensive equipment – Dr Rebecca Ashton explains how you can gather data about executive functioning in a range of ways and bring it together in a coherent formulation. The course then goes on to get you thinking about how you talk about executive functions within consultations\, in order to come to a shared understanding about areas of strength and need. And\, of course\, we will talk about interventions that might feed into your action planning. \n• Assessments: There are a range of observational\, informal and standardised assessment approaches we look at in the course\, including a number of ideas and resources that can be utilised directly from your psychological toolkit. \n• Strategies: A detailed look at a range of evidence-based and practice-based strategies and interventions\, alongside practical ideas on how we can talk about Executive Functions with consultations to gain a shared understanding and jointly formulate helpful accommodations and interventions.

SUMMARY:EP Reach-Out webinar - “It takes a village to raise a child”: A whole system approach to developing resilience in education (RESTA and RESO) with Dr Esther Borrett
DESCRIPTION:On January 7th\, 2025\, the BBC published an article titled “Child Mental Health Crisis: Better Resilience is the Solution\,” highlighting the increasing mental health issues among young people in the UK\, including rising cases of anxiety\, depression\, and self-harm. Experts in the article suggested that building resilience\, rather than solely focusing on mental health awareness\, could be key to addressing this crisis.\nIn this webinar\, Dr. Esther Borrett will explain her research on educational resilience and discuss why developing resilience is seen as a sustainable approach to help young people thrive despite adversity. She will describe an intervention for schools and colleges that views resilience as a skill that can be nurtured over time through intervention and support. This intervention\, named the Resilience Support Teaching Assistant (RESTA)\, along with its whole school approach (RESO)\, involves training school staff to embed resilience-building practices into school curriculums and cultures. Dr. Borrett will outline the context of the intervention\, its use\, and its impact\, as well as discuss future developments.\nDr Esther Borrett – Brimstone Psychology\, Founder of Resilience Support Teaching Assistants
