Training sessions

ADHD learning walks

If a child in your school is currently on the Community Paediatrics waiting list for a neurodevelopmental assessment for ADHD and you would like support to meet their needs, we are able to offer free in-school learning walks to discuss quality first practice and strategies that can support learning and engagement. Please contact us directly if you would like to set up an ADHD learning walk for your school.

Bespoke and specific training needs

If your school has a specific training need relating to a clinical need covered by Community Paediatrics, we can offer free bespoke training for your setting or community of schools. Please contact us to discuss your needs further.

Community Paediatrics education specialists meet the team

The Community Paediatric education specialists are highly qualified teachers with extensive experience of SEND and supporting inclusion. Their role is to act as a bridge between education and health, ensuring effective information sharing and support for children, schools and families during the diagnostic process.
