After this course, you can progress to our Level 2 qualification. Sessions will take place at Huddersfield Centre – Tuesday, 6pm – 8pm OR Greenwood Library/Ravensthorpe – Tuesday 10am – 12pm.
We will look at Kirklees policies regarding supporting schools locally, and the impact of the pandemic on children. We will also consider career routes into schools and how best to support children (not everyone has the same skill sets).
