We now offer an extensive range of training and consultancy, specifically targeted at assisting organisations to achieve outstanding results and offer outstanding student support packages.

Setting Up Effective Student Support Services

Increasingly, establishments need to meet not only the educational and developmental needs of the young person, but also the emotional and social developmental needs of the individual. This can be a difficult balance to achieve, placing strain upon staff and upon systems.

Positive progress have set up many systems of support in schools and trained pastoral staff to be able to deliver a range of interventions that allow them to engage and work with young people on a much deeper, relational level than before. We know its often about figures and what you need to see are programmes that impact your fixed term and permanent exclusion rates, your attainment figures and your attendance statistics.

Team Development

Our staff are our most valuable resource, if a team isn't working well together, communicating effectively and sharing the same goal, we can see a reduction in the level of service we provide and the results we achieve. Our team development courses are different – we use Psychology and Psychotherapy combined with experiential learning to really look at the dynamics of a group. Our team development days are not passive and forgettable, they are a chance for each member to investigate their role within the group and to examine how it impacts on their ability to function and communicate. We understand and know how to work with groups of people who can often be resistant to change – because we know what lies underneath their behaviour.

For impact, for results and for a closer working, more effective team, contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
