EARLY SUPPORT PROVISION

CENTRA's Early Support Training is an important element in our portfolio. As an approved Early Support Training Provider, we offer the following, in addition to our CENTRA Managed Networks & Seminars, Consultancy and Conferences:

Introduction to Early Support

A 2 hour introduction to Early Support methodologies and strategies, designed to help those who work with families to co-ordinate their activity better and to work in partnership with parents.

Working in Partnership through Early Support (Accredited, Level 5)

An accredited 3 day programme designed to enable parents/carers and practitioners to share language, ownership, and effective communication; seamless service delivery; and common vision, in line with Early Support principles. It has at it's heart the improvement of partnership working. It has three units, each of which is supported by a day of training, distance learning and assessment activities.

Working in Partnership through Early Support (non-Accredited)

A non-accredited, two-day version of the Working in Partnership accredited programme. It is aimed at managers and others who will not require accreditation.

Using the Early Support Service Audit Tool

A one-day course, which aims to ensure that practitioners, managers and parents/carers understand the purpose of the Early Support Service Audit Tool - so they can see how useful it can be when planning for and evaluating improvement in outcomes for families.

The sessions can be arranged as 'In-House' events or via attendance on programmes delivered at our dedicated facilities in Chorley, Lancs. Dates and Costs of programmes delivered at CENTRA in Chorley can be obtained from Mike Coyle on 01257 244916 or by Email - mikec@centra.org.uk
