Gender-based Violence: Early Intervention in Early Learning and Childcare settings and in Primary schools<\/span><\/a><\/big>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Train the Trainer 1 Day professional learning event\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

4\/2\/25 or 18\/3\/25, Glasgow\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Professional learning materials have been developed and piloted with Early Learning and Childcare practitioners and Primary School staff. The topics explored include the nature of gender-based violence, gender stereotypes, how these themes can be explored through the curriculum and how to respond to related harmful behaviour.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Train the Trainer (TTT) Programme <\/span><\/b>is a one day in person training which will equip participants to deliver the piloted materials in their own authorities. During the training staff will be made familiar with the materials and explore the sensitivities around professional learning on this topic. <\/span><\/p>\n

Who should attend? <\/span><\/b>Each local authority needs to make sure that their training team includes one local authority lead with a strong knowledge of the health and wellbeing curriculum and one with strong knowledge in the area of gender-based violence (this could be a local authority partner). For sustainability a minimum of two staff but ideally three staff from each local authority will be trained. Staff attending should have the work capacity to deliver the training to staff in their local authority.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
