Training update 3
I am slowly working through a SEND diploma course with New Skills Academy. As it is currently Anti Bullying week, I am undertaking a series of courses through the Anti Bullying Alliance
As of today 15/11/2022 I have completed :-
Course 1 : What is Bullying
Course 2 : Bullying and the Law
Course 3: The 10 key principles
There are about 10+ short courses in total, so will work through at least one per day, or at least aim to do this.
All this training is really proving beneficial, and is leading to me finding lots of really useful resources, so hopefully I can use these in schools.

Training update
In an effort to learn new skills and keep existing skills updated. Over the past week I have:
- Finished studying for the Level 2 Teaching Assistant Diploma
- Completed Prevent, this was in order to refresh prior learning
- Completed Key stages of the National Curriculum course
- Completed Mental Health First Aid course
- Completed Mental Well-being in Children and Young people course
Mostly through the New Skills Academy. the prevent course is the official Home Office training.
I have also identified other learning, these course are now on my TO-DO list. I am now aiming to complete the SEND diploma. I really do need to be in a classroom to help with that, if nothing else context and support from employers and colleagues is essential.

Prevent course
As part of my on going commitment to safeguarding and prevent I have redone the UK Home office Prevent course
I last undertake this in 2020, so after completing the Level 2 Teaching Assistant Diploma, I am working through a few short courses then going on to the Level 2 SEND diploma
All of this should be very helpful finding work in schools, as it demonstrates a very strong commitment to learning, development of skills.
