I CAN EYSEND Partnership
As part of the EYSEND Partnership, I CAN is pleased to be offering training to early years SENCos, managers and early years practitioners to enable excellent support for SLCN in early years settings.
The training is provided at two levels – core and in-depth. You may choose to start with the core training and move to the in-depth, or if you have had previous SLCN training, you could move straight to the in-depth training. Full details of how to access both levels of training are described below.
Core Training Webcasts: This training consists of two pre-recorded webcast modules that you can view at a time to suit you; on your own or in small groups. The webcasts last 90 minutes each and include opportunities to reflect and consider application to your own early years setting. There is a participant pack to download for each module which you can find below.
They will introduce you to Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) in the early years. They will help you take initial steps in exploring the impact of SLCN on young children and identify and support SLCN in your early years setting.
You can then book a follow-up live coaching webinar to help you implement what you have learnt.
Core Training Follow Up Webinar: After watching the two core training webcasts, you can attend a follow up coaching live webinar which will help you apply learning from modules 1 and 2. You will also be provided with information on how to access your certificate.
In-Depth Training Live Webinar: Once you have completed I CAN’s core training, or if you have previous training in supporting SLCN in early years settings (or you are already more knowledgeable in supporting SLCN) you will be able to access our In-Depth Training: Ensuring Quality Support for SLCN in Early Years Settings.
