9-11am, Tuesday 7 November or 2-4pm on Thursday 23 November 2023: Recap of BSW Senior Mental Health Leads training for new Senior Mental Health Leads. If your school completed the BSW Senior Mental Health Leads training between 2021 and 2023 and the member of staff who attended the training has since left, there will be an opportunity for your new Senior Mental Health Lead to go through the materials with us. We will be condensing the 1 ½ day training into a two-hour session and would encourage you to also put a few hours aside sometime in November after attending, to review the recommended resources from the course. The course materials that will be summarised are available here: https://www.wiltshirehealthyschools.org/partnership-projects/dfe-senior-mental-health-lead-training-bsw/bsw-smhl-training/ Please book via: SwindonHealthySchools@swindon.gov.uk stating which of these two dates you would like to attend.
