Welcome
A warm welcome to our training brochure for 2021-2022.
I hope you will find it helpful as you plan your professional
development for the year ahead.
The central focus of our work is to support you and your
school to deliver high quality education, inspired and un-
derpinned by Christian values and teaching. We aim to
encourage and support all our schools to be confident and
secure in their Christian character and distinctiveness,
whilst remaining fully inclusive to children of all faiths and
no faith.
In addition, you may want to request bespoke training for
your school or group of schools. Training can be shaped
to suit you - as an INSET day, a twilight session or staff/
governor meetings, please see page 5 for more infor-
mation.
You will see a number of new courses for this year, in
response to feedback and ongoing pandemic concerns.
Additionally, many of our courses will be delivered virtual-
ly as well as face-to-face. We are also offering a new range
of bespoke in-school support through ’MOTs’ which will
help inform your next steps or may lead to a request for
further bespoke in-school training requests.
We are also able to signpost you to good and excellent
practice across our family of schools, so please do not
hesitate to get in touch with us. As a team we look for-
ward to continuing our partnership with you and support-
ing you in your work.
As we prepare this training brochure there are still
uncertainties around the re-starting of SIAMS inspections
as well as what next year will look like for us all. We look
forward to hearing from you.
4 College Green With every blessing and my thanks for all you do for our
children and their families.

27Trauma Informed Network
Sessions
For headteachers, SENDCOs, DSLs or senior staff with
responsibility for behaviour
A free year-long programme of expert-led sessions and networking
opportunities.
Drawing on expertise (both from academics and practitioners) from across
the field of trauma-informed practice, CEFEL is launching this new year-
long network. It is aimed at trust and school leaders, Designated Leads for
Safeguarding and Looked After Children, SENDCos and teachers who
want to know how to make their school more attuned to the needs of
children and young people who have experienced trauma.
This programme draws upon direct teaching from experts: Professor
Eamon McCrory (UCL/ Anna Freud), Rebecca Brooks (Adoption UK),
Louise Bomber (Touchbase), Kiran Gill (The Difference), David Trickey
(UK Trauma Council) and Deborah Barnett (TLG).
Alongside the expert-led sessions will be network support for practical
application – putting the knowledge into practice. Connect with schools
and experts in the field who have their own programmes, resources and
materials which will help you to deepen own knowledge.
These sessions will be on Zoom, bi-monthly. All sessions are 4.00pm-5pm.
