The theory is woven around the Hamish & Milo programme themes providing a deeper understanding of the development of and support required for children’s optimal social and emotional health and wellbeing.
Voyager is accredited by NCFE and recognises the depth of professional development and celebrates achievement. The course is delivered online and consists of direct teaching presentations; group tasks and discussions; mentoring; and independent assessment tasks.
All educational practitioners who support children’s social and emotional development would benefit from this qualification, but it is particularly helpful for pastoral staff, including but not limited to:
- TAs and LSAs
- ELSAs/Pupil Wellbeing Workers
- Nurture Leads
- Family Support Workers
- SENCOs
All Champions will receive a Learning Journal to support their learning, a Reflection & Assessment Journal for self-reflection and work-based tasks, as well as a set of Sensation & Emotion cards for use both during the course and after for work with children. There are ongoing assessment by the trainers and mentoring through group activities and discussion and optional recommended reading.
All documentation will be available digitally via the Hamish & Milo Online platform.
