Development of Children and Young People Programme

Children do not develop in a single straight line. Their physical growth, thinking, relationships and emotional wellbeing interact in ways that shape participation and future opportunity. This four-week programme gives practitioners a connected view of those influences. It moves from developmental theory into SEND, safeguarding and family collaboration so that knowledge can inform real professional decisions.

Why this Training Matters for your Organisation

When staff understand development in context, they are better placed to notice emerging needs and choose proportionate support. That insight can strengthen both early intervention and day-to-day practice. For education and care providers, the programme develops a broader professional lens. It helps teams connect milestones with individual circumstances while keeping protection and inclusion in view.

Who Should Attend

This in-depth learning serves professionals whose decisions affect childhood or adolescence. Suitable participants include:

Education practitioners extending their developmental knowledge.

Family-support workers broadening their insight into childhood needs.

Supervisors embedding reflection into service delivery.

Eight modules build a rounded understanding of development and professional responsibility. The learning includes:

• Developmental stages alongside cognitive and physical growth.
• Attachment, emotional wellbeing and peer relationships.
• SEND principles and safeguarding responsibilities.
• Communication with families and reflective practice.

Assessment combines five multiple-choice questions with five short answers and a 500-word essay. Automated items return an immediate result, while written work requires tutor confirmation. Further attempts carry no extra charge.

Team and Company Bookings

Organisation-wide access can strengthen a shared understanding of development across multidisciplinary teams. It is particularly useful where education, care and safeguarding responsibilities overlap.
