Additional Needs Training
Come and take part in a full day of practical learning that’ll help you feel more confident supporting young people in Scouting who have additional needs or may present challenging behaviours. This in‑person session, at only £10 per person, is open to volunteers at every level, whether you’re new to inclusive Scouting or looking to build on the skills you already use in your group.
We’ll explore down‑to‑earth strategies you can put into practice right away, from building positive relationships to creating environments where every young person feels they belong. You can expect real examples, relatable insights, and plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
For those who met Colin Millar and Walter Lambe at the Conference, you’ll know how engaging and practical their sessions are. If you didn’t get to see them, this is a great opportunity to benefit from their decades of experience in education, behaviour support and inclusive youth work.
