For more information >>> | | | Attachment Based MentoringABM Training
Attachment based mentoring is a relational approach to supporting children with their social and emotional development. The approach includes both universal and targeted support, particularly for children who may have had adverse childhood experiences, those who are struggling with their emotional health and well-being and those who are finding it difficult to engage with learning and the social aspects of school.
The training runs over 3 days with an additional supervision session 6 weeks later. All participants receive the Attachment Based Mentoring book.F our courses will be taking place in the Autumn and Spring term across Devon. Courses will either be presented face to face or online depending on the guidance on social distancing at the time.

Future Learn
In addition to Attachment Based Mentoring schools will also be able to access a free online course available through Future Learn. The course is called - Relational Learning: Supporting learning, development and wellbeing through relationship. This is a six week (approx. 2 hours of learning each week) course which involves learning through videos, articles, activities and shared discussion with fellow learners. The course covers the core principles of relational learning including the importance of relationships for development, how we can provide protection, connection, understanding and care and how we can develop and implement relational support plans that will enable children to access learning and be fully included in school. The course will be available on Future Learn from October 26th . | | | | SLCN Training
Our SLCN team have recently announced their new Autumn training available both online and in-school delivery.
Following the success of the Devon Extended Language Project (DELP), a range of training has been created for primary, secondary and special school staff. Sessions are interactive and have a practical focus to improve outcomes for children and young people with speech, language and communication needs.

Relational Practice and Policy
As you may be aware, the EP and SEMH teams have been working on writing guidance for developing relational practice and policy.
This has been funded by the Local Authority via the Virtual School Team.
Guidance for Developing Relational Practice and Policy aims to support the inclusion, engagement and outcomes for all children and young people with a particular focus on those who are vulnerable to and at risk of exclusion. The guidance was written in response to well documented concerns regarding young people's mental health and well-being and long standing national trends which show the disproportionate exclusion of children from vulnerable groups.Click here for the Quick Guide >>>Click here for the full document >>> | | | | School Finance
Exceptional costs associated with COVID-19
In April, the government informed schools they could receive funding to cover additional costs associated with COVID-19. These costs include:
- increased premises related costs of keeping schools open over school holiday periods, for vulnerable children and children of critical workers
- support for free school meal (FSM) children who are not attending school, other than through the national voucher scheme
- additional cleaning, over and above existing cleaning arrangements, where you have a suspected or confirmed case of coronavirus (COVID-19).
The DfE have now issued guidance on how schools can claim this funding, together with a link to the claim form itself, and can be accessed via the following link:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/claiming-exceptional-costs-associated-with-coronavirus-covid-19/exceptional-costs-associated-with-coronavirus-covid-19--2
Please be aware that all claims must be made by 21st July 2020, but schools that are projecting to have an in-year financial surplus are not eligible to claim.

The Governance Team would like to thank all governors, trustees, clerks and associate members for the commitment and support they have demonstrated, particularly during the challenges boards and settings have faced through COVID-19. We appreciate that governance has been tricky this term – negotiating the technical challenges of online and virtual meetings, adapting to new ways of working and supporting our headteachers and staff as they, in turn, provide for our pupils. We know that many of you are holding additional meetings (although hopefully both shorter and more strategic!) and may also be considering meeting during the summer holiday period as government plans for September re-opening become clearer.
Thank you for everything you are doing to ensure that our children and young people can continue to thrive as we move into the new academic year. Please rest assured we are here to support you as we face the next chapter together.
From your Governance Consultancy Team.
