This course meets the statutory requirements of the two-year Refresher Training for Designated Safeguarding Leads in Northamptonshire schools.

As part of the Education Act 2002 and the latest Keeping Children Safe in Education, all schools must have a member of the leadership team as their Designated Safeguarding Lead. This person must take lead responsibility for dealing with child protection issues, referring concerns of significant harm, providing advice and guidance to support all staff to carry out their safeguarding duties, overseeing the school provision of early help and liaising with other agencies as required. This training must be updated every 2 years. This course is delivered by Lesley Pollard who is an experienced teacher, trainer and adviser. She currently works as an Independent Learning Adviser carrying out Safeguarding training and audits for a variety of providers as well as for individual schools.

Objectives:

• To consider the implication of national and local changes with regard to Safeguarding and Child Protection in Northamptonshire schools;
• To recap the role and responsibilities of the Designated Safeguarding Lead in school;

This training is facilitated by Sophie King School Improvement Director for English

Objectives:

A session not just for new teachers and non-specialists:

Understand how grammar and syntax is a foundation of secure and clear writing.

Determine which strategies and approaches can be most easily adopted in to existing teaching strategies for the benefit of individual cohorts of students.

Decide upon the best strategy to trial / return to departments with.

Outcomes:

With mastery of vocabulary an ongoing priority outside of English departments, teaching the nuances of grammar for creative and transactional writing is certainly considered more of an area for subject specialists and therefore expertise and confidence is needed. Alongside reviewing tried and tested methods for ‘writing’, this session will look at how grammar can be manipulated in analytical and academic writing to enable students to write with more fluency, efficiency and with a greater degree of sophistication, regardless of starting point.

Hopefully you will leave the session with a few strategies to trial alongside your department approaches to writing.
