In response to these identified challenges, we have partnered with experts to deliver bespoke CPD training. Northorpe Hall Child and Family Trust is a West Yorkshire-based charity specialising in the emotional wellbeing of children, young people, and their families. As specialists with years of experience, they take a holistic approach to emotional wellbeing and mental health, that involves parents, carers, schools, and colleges.
Training sessions aim to enhance knowledge, understanding, and confidence across a wide range of topics, along with practical strategies to use in any classroom setting. Delivered online via Teams, training goes beyond just watching a video, and has opportunity for interaction, discussion, and questions. All training is delivered by Helen Parker, a wellbeing Learning and Development Lead, Northorpe Hall. Helen, has a background in Education, including head teachership, as well as expertise in children and young people’s mental health.

Every fully registered teacher who teaches for 20 days or more per calendar year is required to complete 20 hours of professional development. It is good practise to have a current PDR to demonstrate to employers how you keep your professional development up to date as well as helping you plan for future work, develop your career path and identify further training or development. We have developed a CPD learning log for your convenience, where you can log and track your learning hours and save any document, this is available to all registered candidates.
