IMPORTANT: For past attendees, the content is roughly the same as the previous Advocacy Training days CEN have held over the past year or so. They have added some extra material relating to prevention and early intervention.
Who should attend?

• Parents who want to gain the essential skills and knowledge to empower themselves and other parents that have children at risk of school exclusion or who have been excluded.

What will I get out of the workshop?

•  Understand the parent’s and child’s perspective
•  Understand the school environment and types of exclusion that schools enforce
•  Identify when children are more likely to be at risk at of exclusion and the strategies to put in place to avoid Exclusion
•  Increase your knowledge about the legal aspects of exclusion.

There is a huge demand for this training  and due to limited funding only a few of these workshops can be offered each year.
