An online portfolio of continuous professional development courses: Developing Quality of Inclusive Practice (DQIP) and Extending Quality of Inclusive Practice (EQIP).
Professional Learning Networks (see our events page).
Conferences and Lectures (see our events page).
Bespoke consultancy for implementation of change in education settings, including service delivery and evaluation, supervision, coaching, collaborative inquiry and co-production of change.

Developing Quality of Inclusive Practice (DQIP)

Our online short courses portfolio ensures that practitioners have access to the latest evidence-informed practice, delivering strategies and solutions for the provision of high-quality education, and meeting the needs of all pupils and practitioners. Participants can choose courses from a range of topics, including cognition and learning, mental health, communication and social interaction.

These courses are co-designed by teachers and researchers and are relevant to a range of professionals working with individuals with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Social Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, including teachers, SENCOs (Special Educational Needs Coordinators), teaching assistants, third sector organisations and businesses.

New courses are made available every year.

Participants can enrol and complete the course at any time as it is an asynchronous online course.

All attendees receive a certificate of attendance to add to their CPD portfolio.

Extending Quality of Inclusive Practice (EQIP)

Our EQIP courses provide extended training and continuous professional development on the topics covered in our sort courses portfolio (DQIP). Using a blended delivery, these courses require both online and face-to-face attendance, as well as synchronous and asynchronous individual and group work.

Professional Learning Networks (PLNs)

A PLN is a group of participants that meets on a regular basis to enhance their learning and knowledge, to network with like-minded professionals and to build relationships in a two-way exchange between researchers and practitioners.

PLNs share the following characteristics:

Shared values and vision
Collective responsibility for pupils’ learning
Reflective professional enquiry
Collaboration focused on learning
Group as well as individual professional learning
Openness, networks and partnerships
Inclusive membership
Mutual trust, respect and support.

The ultimate aim of a PLN is to promote pupil learning and social development. This is achieved through the PLN by:

facilitating opportunities for professional learning and the application of this learning to practice;
allowing for the co-creation of new knowledge and understanding concerning relevant education issues between practitioners and researchers.
