The Word Up approach is suitable for children working significantly below the Key Stage standards and not responding successfully to the traditional 'synthetic phonics' methods. This is a whole word reading and language development approach, particularly suitable for children who are visual learners.

Pupils:

• with visual strengths, but difficulties with the 'synthetic phonics' approach, will have access to an alternative approach to reading
  
  

Staff will:

• understand why a whole word approach to reading may be more effective for some pupils
• know how to deliver Word Up style activities

This workshop is the Safer Recruitment Consortium accredited, updated version of the Safer Recruitment training for Headteachers, school Governors and other staff who are likely to sit on interview panels or appoint staff.

It is still a requirement for every school appointments panel to include at least one member who has completed the Safer Recruitment training.

Course content provides clear explanations of government guidance regarding the safer recruitment process. It also includes an update of the most recent legislation changes (Keeping Children Safe in Education) and the pre-employment checking process that impacts on Safeguarding and Child Protection. 

It is recommended that you refresh your training every 5 years.   

Pupils will:

• be safer and have safeguarding needs met in a more appropriate and timely manner

Practitioners will:

• have an awareness and understanding of offender behaviour
• be able to identify the key features of staff recruitment that helps deter or prevent the appointment of unsuitable people
• be able to consider policies and practices that minimise opportunities for abuse
• begin to review their own and their settings' policies and practices, with a view to making them safer

 Settings will:

• be safer organisations
• comply with government guidance and legislation
