Beatbullying offers two distinct types of training opportunity for professionals outside of its bullying prevention work with children and young people. All are informative and attendee’s provided with comprehensive toolkits and other relevant materials. The training is available in two distinct packages:
In addition to working with the young people, training is provided for staff on how to deal with bullying as we cascade the results of the inter-agency panels. Training is provided to members of staff nominated by our partner agencies and facilitated in an inter-agency environment, this ensures that best practice is translated around the borough, anti-bullying networks are established and staff from a variety of disciplines and sectors can, all things being equal, respond to bullying in a standardised way. The training is offered to all professionals that work with young people, statutory and voluntary.
During the training, professionals are also invited to work up a “professional’s campaign” using many of the same mediums as young people do. This, over time, will also be distributed free of charge to partner agencies. Professionals (and partner organisations) also receive, free of charge, a comprehensive BB toolkit available in paper copy or downloadable format on this website. Bespoke toolkits are available to teachers, head teachers, teaching assistants, behavioural support workers, youth offending team members, personal advisers (Connexions), governors, mentors, parents, youth workers, community workers, school nurses, dinner ladies, social workers, health care professionals and local bus drivers etc.
Beatbullying can also provide a number of tailored trainings. These workshops will be designed to assist frontline staff in being able to understand the following:
Insets
Beatbullying can cover a range of subjects to highlight prevention and awareness of bullying and the issues surrounding it and can be personalised for each individual school. Any of the following or combinations of the following can be included in single insets, or conducted over a series:
The topics are discussion-based worked up in small teams and all participating staff are encouraged to explore issues openly, honestly and constructively. Insets can prove challenging in terms of timing and also when they take place and our insets are designed to be engaging and thought-provoking examination of a difficult subject. Our insets are not, however, brain draining and should stop weary staff falling asleep after a long day!
