ADHD Awareness
A child with ADHD is often labelled disruptive long before anyone considers a neurodevelopmental cause. ADHD affects attention, impulse control and activity levels, and it shows in the structure, function and chemistry of the brain. NICE estimates that two to five per cent of children in the UK…

An Introduction to Food Hygiene and Safety
A school kitchen is a food business in law. The same registration, inspection and standards apply to a canteen, a tuck shop and a food technology classroom as to any restaurant. Get hygiene wrong and the consequences run from food poisoning and allergic reactions to closure and prosecution. The…

An Overview of Understanding Learning Disabilities
A learning disability is a difference in how the brain takes in and uses information. It affects comprehension, speech, literacy and numeracy, and it lasts into adulthood. Public Health England reported that in 2018, 67,765 children in England had an Education, Health and Care Plan naming a…

Anxiety and Depression
A colleague who is struggling rarely announces it. Anxiety and depression are common among staff in education settings, and they show up as fatigue, lost concentration, absence and quiet withdrawal long before anyone uses the words. The cost lands on the individual first, then on the team and the…

Autism Awareness in Children
An autistic child who turns the wrong way on the carpet is not being difficult. Autism affects social communication, interaction, and patterns of behaviour and interest, and it presents differently in every child. The Department for Education records more than 160,000 autistic children in schools…

Awareness of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)
A child with developmental language disorder may read fluently and still miss most of what is said in a lesson. DLD affects how language is learned, understood and used, across phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics. It affects around seven per cent of children, and it is more…

Bullying and Harassment
A child who is being bullied usually stops asking for help. Bullying and harassment in education settings are treated as a public health risk in the UK, and the evidence links them to missed lessons, lower attainment, poorer mental health and self-harm. The course separates bullying from harassment…

Child Neglect Awareness
A child who is being neglected rarely says so. It shows in small, repeatable things: the same unwashed shirt, a lunch that never appears, a cough that is never treated, a register with too many gaps. Education staff see children five days a week, which puts them in a good position to notice a…

Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE)
Exploitation rarely looks like abuse from the outside. A Year 10 girl with expensive gifts, taxi rides she cannot pay for and an older boyfriend she met online may insist nothing is wrong, and believe it. Child sexual exploitation runs on a power imbalance, and the child is usually the last person…

Cold and Flu
In an education setting, a cold and influenza are not the same problem. One keeps a child sniffing through a lesson; the other arrives suddenly with fever and aching limbs, keeps a class off for a week, and can turn into pneumonia in a child who is already vulnerable. Telling them apart changes…

Conflict Management with Children
Two children want the same thing at the same time, and neither has the words for it yet. Most conflict in a classroom starts there. How an adult handles the next two minutes shapes whether the children learn to settle things themselves or learn that shouting works. The course defines conflict…

Cultural Competence
A pupil who never volunteers an answer may not be disengaged. In some homes, speaking up in front of an adult is not how respect is shown. Culture shapes how children communicate, what they expect of a teacher and how they read a classroom, and a teacher who misses that reads the child wrongly. The…

About the courses
How long does a course take?
Most take between 45 minutes and two hours. The longer safeguarding courses run to three. You can stop and come back where you left off.
Are they accredited?
Our courses are CPD-accredited and carry CPD points, which count towards the record you keep here or send elsewhere.
Are they kept up to date?
Yes. Courses tied to statutory guidance, such as Keeping Children Safe in Education, are reviewed when that guidance changes rather than once a year out of habit.
Can my school assign courses to staff?
Yes. A school or trust can assign the courses each role needs and see who has completed them.
Start with the one your role needs most
Sign in, pick a course and work through it whenever you have half an hour.
