SUMMARY:FASD – Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder management strategies 2025
DESCRIPTION:FASD is a complex neuro-disability and this second course builds on the themes from the Intro course. It considers the impact on the new NICE quality standard on FASD and the role of different professionals. It explores how sensory processing issues may affect the person’s presentation. It looks at how to reframe behaviours and different strategies that can help when working or caring for with someone with FASD in different settings. All people with FASD are different and options for post-18 will be considered.\nThe course contains a combination of slides\, videos\, interactive exercises and case studies. \nParticipants should think of any people they are working with that have or are at risk of having FASD as this would be useful for discussion and reflection.

SUMMARY:Understanding the power\, impact and recovery journey from shame with Betsy de Thierry
DESCRIPTION:In this training day Betsy will lead us through an exploration of what shame is and how it is experienced. Her definition in her book on shame is: When shame is experienced\, it functions as an urgent signal that danger is here: the danger of rejection\, failure\, exposure and abandonment. It is an experience rooted in interpersonal relationships. It threatens the very basic human experience of being alive and needing to belong\, be loved and be accepted. p15 The Simple Guide to Understanding Shame. (2018). \nWe will reflect and consider the impact of shame on children who have experienced developmental trauma. \nWe will consider what recovery can look like and how we can facilitate it.

SUMMARY:EP Reach-Out webinar - Unveiling therapeutic thinking’s impact on school behaviour with Dr Ellie Crooks
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ellie Crooks is a passionate Child and Educational Psychologist working in Cambridgeshire\, she is dedicated to transforming the way schools approach behaviour. \nHer doctoral research\, Unveiling Therapeutic Thinking’s Impact on School Behaviour: A Realist Evaluation\, highlighted both the factors that drive success and the barriers that hinder meaningful systemic change. \nThis research fuelled her to deepen her understanding of behaviourist approaches in education\, particularly in light of the ongoing use—and government endorsement—of harmful practices. \nIf awareness of their detrimental impact were widespread\, these methods would no longer persist. In this session\, Dr. Ellie will share key insights from her research before shifting to a passionate call for urgent reform.

SUMMARY:EP Reach-Out webinar - An Introduction to the Power Threat Meaning Framework and its application to education with Hayley Prickett\, Joanne Yeoman & Sarah Sivers
DESCRIPTION:The first webinar in our series on the Power Threat Meaning Framework \nOverview: The Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF) was a co-produced document with Clinical Psychologists Lucy Johnstone and Mary Boyle as the lead authors (Boyle & Johnstone\, 2018). The PTMF was offered as a conceptual alternative in understanding stress and distress\, compared to more traditional medical models based on psychiatric diagnosis. The PTMF argues for a shift of focus from ‘What is wrong with you?’ to ‘What has happened to you?’ We are curious about how the PTMF might be used to think about educational experiences. \nIn this webinar we will consider the following questions:\nHow is the PTMF relevant to our roles (as Educational Psychologists and professionals working in education) supporting children and young people\, families and school systems?\nHow can the PTMF inform our practice?\nIn what ways is the PTMF currently being used\, applied\, and adapted to support children and young people\, families and school systems?\nWe will also share details of our PTMF_Education Special Interest Group – more information about this group can be found here https://edpsy.org.uk/interest-groups/the-power-threat-meaning-framework-special-interest-group-for-educational-psychologists-and-professionals-working-in-education/

SUMMARY:edpsy hosts Dr Mary Stanley-Duke: Mediating learning - supporting children to get the most from every learning task
DESCRIPTION:CPD Overview\nEnhancing a child or young person’s experience of learning can be challenging. It can be difficult to know when to intervene and how to do so in a way that supports and develops the child’s learning and not just completing the task. \n‘Mediating learning’ describes the interaction between an adult and a learner when learning. During this interaction the adult intends to improve the thinking and learning potential of the child or young person (the learner). Mediating is about adjusting this interaction to maximise the chance of the learner using and applying their thinking skills both in the moment and in future learning situations. Mediating often also involves adjusting the learning task to support the learner’s engagement. \nThis webinar will share the psychology of mediating in an accessible manner. You will leave with an understanding of mediating and practical ideas that you can use when wanting to develop learning skills with a child or young person. \nLearning outcomes\nBy the end of this webinar you will; \n\nBe more familiar with the psychology of mediating learning\nKnow the importance and purpose of mediating learning\nKnow how to create an effective mediating learning interaction\nFeel confident in fostering learning skill development with the children and young people you interact with\n\nBooking and discounts\n \n\n  \nGroup booking discount of 20%\nIdeal for services and groups of professionals\, benefit from a 20% discount when 5 or more places are booked at the same time. \nUse promo code ‘EDPSYGROUP20‘ \nTEPs and students\nTrainee EPs\, trainee psychologists and students can benefit from a 40% discount. \nTo benefit from this you must: \n\nRegister for the event using your university email address\nUse promo code ‘EDPSYTEP40‘\n\nIf you do not use your university email address to book\, we may ask you to confirm that you are a trainee/student \nDr Mary Stanley-Duke\n \nMary trained as a primary teacher before becoming an educational psychologist (EP) in 2006. Since then Mary has worked as an EP in Bristol City Council. In 2019 Mary joined Bristol University to become a tutor on the Doctorate of Educational Psychology (DEdPsy) training. \nMary has a long standing interest in assessment for learning. She has lead on the Mediating Learning Support Approach (MeLSA)\, a training and supervision package for adults (educational staff and parents) that promotes adults nurturing independent learners of tomorrow.

SUMMARY:Introduction to BUSS® model webinar 2025
DESCRIPTION:The BUSS® model was developed by Sarah Lloyd to be helpful when children have experienced developmental trauma. It’s based on the understanding that for children to thrive they need consistent\, attuned caregiving and it’s through these relationships that babies and young children develop good bodily and emotional regulation. Having a good sense of their body is crucial for children to manage games\, friendships and school\, all of which are such an important part of childhood. \nBUSS® is concerned with what are called foundation sensorimotor systems\, the systems that grow through lots of nurture\, touch and movement in their early months and years. These systems give us a sense of ourselves on a bodily level – so things like having good balance and co-ordination as well as understanding information from inside our bodies (e.g. when we feel hungry or cold\, and managing the sounds and feel of the outside world without being overwhelmed by them). Within nurturing relationships\, babies progress through critical patterns of movement that allow the brain and central nervous system to develop so that we can manage to do all of this without using much conscious attention. Where children have had a difficult start in life\, these processes have been disrupted.\nHowever\, by bringing together sensory integration theory and attachment theory alongside an understanding of the impact of trauma on the developing brain\, it’s possible to use games and activities\, working with parents / carers and their children to rebuild these systems and help children to thrive. \nThe three most important tenets of the BUSS® model are movement\, playfulness and relationships\, and we’re keen to make sure this is reflected in our day together. As well as introducing you to BUSS®\, we’d like you to have the chance to discuss what we’re talking about\, hear from families and practitioners who are using the model and also have the chance to try out some of the games and activities that we might use as part of our work with families. We’ll use breakout rooms in Zoom to make sure that there are lots of opportunities to think and do\, as well as hopefully giving you lots of information and ideas! \nOver the day we’ll think about BUSS® as an intervention with children\, young people and their families as well as how BUSS® can be applied in other settings\, e.g. Early Years and education.

SUMMARY:Educational neuroscience: Key directions for educational psychologists (critical enquiry)
DESCRIPTION:To all Trainee EPs\, Aspiring EPs and Qualified EPs \nEducational Neuroscience: Key Directions for Educational Psychologists\n(Critical Enquiry) \nEducational Neuroscience is fast becoming a prominent body of knowledge informing educational practice. Educational Psychologists are implicated strongly in the research literature as potentially ‘bridging the gap’ between neuroscience and education. How can we apply neuroscientific knowledge meaningfully and practically in our everyday work\, and enhance outcomes for children and young people? The course aims to empower EPs to mobilize their knowledge and expertise in applying emerging neuroscientific research in their day-to-day practice\, for neurotypical and neurodiverse populations\, mapping them onto their current psychological frameworks\, and being critically reflective in the process. \nThe above is a CPD accredited workshop (CPD Standards Office). This will account for a total of 3 CPD hours. Certifcates will be issued. \n11-2pm Weds 25th June \nAt the Discovery Suites \nJohn Lewis\, Milton Keynes \nCoffee and Light Lunch will be served by Ori Cafe\, John Lewis \nCost £90 \nProceeds will be shared with Acquired Brain Injury Group and Encephalitis Charity Headway UK \nFor further Info and bookings : info@ep-practice.co.uk

SUMMARY:EP Reach-Out webinar - What are EPs'/TEPs' views and experiences of using the Power Threat Meaning Framework during formulation?’: A reflexive thematic analysis study with Dr Demi Stroud
DESCRIPTION:The 2nd webinar in our series on the Power Threat Meaning Framework \nOverview: This webinar explores how Educational Psychologists (EPs) and Trainee Educational Psychologists (TEPs) understand and apply formulation in their practice\, focusing on the use of the Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF) to understand emotional distress. Through interviews with six EPs and one TEP\, the research identifies three key themes: EP formulation is embedded in assessment\, formulation is a collaborative process\, and the PTMF offers additional insights. The findings suggest that formulation is influenced by a variety of frameworks and experiences\, and that the PTMF’s values align with those of EPs\, although its complex language may limit its accessibility. Ideas for further research are also discussed.
