Who is this course for?
The Children’s Mentor Qualification is designed for teachers, teaching assistants, learning mentors and other pastoral staff in primary education and alternative provision settings. It is especially popular with those who are looking to expand their range of specialised certifications, with a program which addresses and reflects the finer details of their work.
The National Education Union reported that 88% of teachers told them that they have seen an increase in the prevalence of student mental health issues. Therefore, being able to access training to provide effective support for children has never been more important.
Course Overview
The Children’s Mentor Qualification is a level 3 course specifically created for staff working in primary school settings. It focuses on practical skills for delivering interventions to address behavioural issues, SEND provision and mental health challenges faced by pupils.
Designed from a mental health led framework, the Children’s Mentor course covers skills on overcoming barriers, adapting learning approaches, and effective tools for interventions along with wider group involvement. It includes practical methods of how to assess, plan and deliver interventions for social, emotional and mental health difficulties. Children’s Mentors are enabled to understand the root causes of social, emotional and behavioural challenges, and best practice for addressing them.
“This will help the children I work with hugely as I will be able to identify, document and plan better. It has also given me more professional information to help back up the great physical work that we do.”
