What have previous participants said about this programme?
A big thank you for such a wonderful informative training programme. I have taken a lot away from this course and look forward to using it effectively in my school setting.

We have really enjoyed participating in the WSNAL Training Programme and have learnt a lot. We loved learning about trauma and attachment and how we can cascade what we have learnt to all staff so that these children can offer support throughout the school. The trainer has been very helpful and available when we ask for support. The Digital Developmental Portrait is beyond useful.

Day one of the WSNAL has been very informative. The trainer’s passion, experience and knowledge shine through. I loved the strategies that we can implement across the school to support dysregulated children.
