SAP Training

We offer a range of training sessions to Sherwood Area Partnership schools free of charge , including : 

  • whole partnership events -details of these sessions are sent to schools and training is delivered either online or face to face in a range of venues. We often ask schools to support this by offering to host a training event.  
  • commissioned training events -we do fund training events for partnership schools to access when a training need is identified. 
  • staff meetings - schools can request staff meeting training sessions by contacting the team.
  • INSET day sessions - schools can request INSET day training sessions by contacting the team 
  • Family Support Worker Network - we deliver a network each half term for colleagues who work with parents/carers as family support workers in our partnership schools. Please see calendar for dates and times, and contact Becky Butler for more details (bbutler@churchvale.notts.sch.uk)

Group Theraplay Training 13th & 14th October 2025 

This term our training offer is to provide 2 days of Group Theraplay training to 28 of our partnership schools. Inspire-me Events will be providing the training at Edwinstowe House in October and we are really excited to see Theraplay then growing across the partnership. Over the past few years, together we have been focusing on understanding how relationship-led approaches can change a child's life, how being attachment and trauma aware can make our schools safer and more engaging for children who need connections that nurture and heal. Theraplay is the next step on our journey as a partnership and we are looking forward to a year of exploring how we can make it part of our practice. 

Schools have already been sent details of an online form to express interest in attending the training and schools allocated a place will be contacted early in Sept.
