Designated Teachers play a vital role in supporting the education of children in care and those with a social worker. Regular training is a statutory requirement and ensures that Designated Teachers remain up to date with guidance, best practice, and emerging research.

Our training is designed to be practical, thought-provoking, and directly relevant to your role in school.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
