Who can go on this course?

Those staff members can then deliver the ROAR model to each class.
 
The member(s) of staff receiving the training will be equipped to deliver that CPD session in their school, as well as being given necessary resources and lesson plans. Lesson plans are for both KS1 and KS2, focused on building resilience and awareness around mental health. Delegates will be equipped to respond to specific mental health needs within their schools.
