The Golden Key Programme - Summer 2024
- Online
- 17 Apr 2024 (13:30 - 15:30)
The role of the Key Person in an Early Years setting is vital. This eight-week training programme will upskill EY practitioners to identify and provide for the needs of all children in their care. This involves identifying individual needs, building a trusting relationship with them and their parents/carers and daily interaction with children to gain a holistic understanding of their likes, dislikes, interests, and individual learning and development needs.
All learners will receive a certificate of attendance after completing all four sessions. Recorded sessions are available.
Who would benefit from this training?
- This training is for practitioners (who are not EY SENCOs) in Early Years PVI and maintained school settings.
