We are pleased to share our online learning workshop menu with topics designed to meet your organisational learning and development needs.
We offer an extensive menu of online learning workshops that provide an effective and engaging way to deliver professional development directly to your organisation. Designed in consultation with the Research in Practice network, the menu includes popular topics for practitioners and managers working with children, young people, adults, and families. This includes writing analytically throughout practice, cultural humility and anti-racist practice, reflective supervision and more.
Delivered by experienced facilitators, each online learning workshop uses a range of methods to engage participants in active learning. This includes presentations, breakout room discussions, practice scenario examples, videos, individual exercises, and group discussions all aimed at addressing learning outcomes. Participants will also have access to dedicated learning resources, including our learning library with filmed resources from previous learning and development packages.

Participant feedback
'Very practical and interactive training with peer to peer learning/support. Great conversations about authentic issues to do with social work. Great facilitator; able to create a safe and nurturing environment.'
Participant of Holding difficult conversations.
'I liked the adaptability of the mentalising approach for different situations and with different demographics. The group discussion was also helpful in terms of understanding the views and perspectives of people who work in different social work teams.'
Participant of Practical application of a mentalising approach with children and young people.
'I'd like to show some of the video [resources] to my team – they were incredibly powerful. Really interesting to explore media and attitudes and being aware of how this may influence local community and us as professionals. I thought it was an excellent course and really enjoyed the mix of learning – I particularly enjoyed the time to reflect in break out rooms with colleagues. I will definitely be recommending to colleagues who have not yet attended.'
