SUMMARY:BSA Certificate in Professional Practice for Pupil Welfare & Support
DESCRIPTION:Live Online BSA Certificate in Professional Practice – Pupil Welfare & Support \nNew 24/25 course dates added! \nContext: \nWelfare and support staff\, such as Matrons\, House Deputies\, Boarding Assistants  and Boarding Tutors form a key part of the safeguarding and pastoral care framework within our schools however staff CPD opportunities seldom focus on the key areas to support their professional development. As part of a refocus of the training available through the BSA\, we can now offer a standalone Professional Practice Certificate for school pastoral staff. \nThis course will link professional practice with current research and best practice to provide a unique opportunity for pastoral staff\, whether working in relative isolation or as part of the House team\, to development their knowledge\, skills and practice across a wide range of the key current themes/topics most relevant to their role. In addition\, there will be a linked research project which will provide the chance to focus on a specific aspect in more detail. \nCourse Outline: \nThe course will consist of 4 separate Study Days spread over a full academic year. The sessions on each study day will be a mixture of presentations often with an external expert\, and group discussions. \nBSA Cert in Professional Practice for Pupil Welfare & Support 2024-2025 \n\nStudy Day 1: December 04\, 2024\nStudy Day 2: January 28\, 2025\nStudy Day 3: March 17\, 2025\nStudy Day 4: June 06\, 2025\n\nAll study Days will be held online via Zoom. \nTO BEGIN YOUR QUALIFICATION IN DECEMBER CLICK HERE \nTimings for each study day – 10.00 to 15.45 \nSessions for this course include: \n\n Vaping : What you Need to Know\,  Guest Speaker Dr Aric Sigman\nPerspectives on Pastoral Care\nAn Afternoon on Disordered Eating\, Guest Speaker\, Rachel Hart\nUnderstanding Adolescence & Meeting the Needs of Children & Young People\, with Professor Carrie Winstanley\, PhD MPhil (Cantab) MA BHEd NFF NTF PFHEA FRSA\nEquity\, Diversity and Inclusion\, Guest speaker: Gaelle Sullivan\, Director of Research\, Inclusion and IELA\nEmotional Health Issues & Building Resilience\nPromoting well-being\nPartnership with Parents\nCommunication skills\nConflict management\nSupporting Vulnerable young people; what works\nSafeguarding and information sharing with Dale Wilkins\, Director of Safeguarding Professional Development and Accreditation\nPutting into practice what you’ve learned\, moving forward\nAssignment and course reflection\n\n\nUnderstanding Adolescence & Meeting the Needs of Children & Young People with Professor Carrie Winstanley\, PhD MPhil (Cantab) MA BHEd NFF NTF PFHEA FRSA \nCarrie Winstanley has taught in schools and higher education for more than twenty years.

There are significant medical concerns regarding vaping even without nicotine due to the flavours and scents used.  If students do vape\, are they are addicted and if so\, how they can quit? \n\nAn Introduction to Equity\, Diversity and Inclusion in Schools with Gaelle Sullivan\, Director Research and Inclusion\, Director TIOB \nUsing the BSA Index (Inclusion and Diversity Excellence) Framework and Toolkit\, this session will provide an introductory overview to this important work in schools. \n\n\nGaelle is Head of Research Services and Inclusion and joined the BSA in January 2023.
