The teaching sector is always changing and evolving, meaning staff often need to undertake training to refresh their skills. No Limits Trading offer a wide variety of training specifically tailored to staff within schools and further education, including:

• LGBTQ+. We help staff to understand what it means to be part of the LGBTQ+ community and how homophobia, transphobia and heterosexism affect LGBTQ+ young people.  I found the whole training interesting & informative - Pete.  I liked the chance to ask questions in a safe place - Rowena.

• Substance misuse. Such a wide ranging topic so training can be an introduction or something more indepth depending on your school needs and time available. We can delve into the changing face of substance use, why young people use them, and how to spot the signs. We can also discuss how to minimise risk and brief interventions. (Your training) was well received by my colleagues - your humorous, honest and highly knowledgeable approach went down well. We went away feeling even more informed about what to look out for among our pupils. CB, Winchester College

• Mental Health. We discuss with staff the issues affecting young people with mental health problems and how to support them.

• Self-harm. No Limits staff work with Young People who self-harm and thus we can share with you, why young people self-harm, how to spot the signs and how to support anyone who is struggling. My friend suffers from self-harm and now I know how to help them. You have explained it well, it was informative and you have helped us (to help young people). 

• Resilience for NQTs. Teachers receive training on how/what to teach but are not given training around the additional pressures faced by them. Our therapeutic counsellors and wellbeing practitioners can support a group of NQTs or other staff in a small group or 1:1, on a half-termly basis, to encourage staff to stay in their post longer.

• Safeguarding Training. With over 25 years working with young people, we continually adapt our way of working to cover any safeguarding issues as they arise and always have the safety of any child at the forefront. We can share with you our knowledge and practices so staff are better prepared for their own safety and that of the young people they work with.

• Youth Mentoring. We show how to facilitate and support the learning and development needs of young people through mentoring whilst promoting the young person's own wellbeing, resilience and achievement. The training was brilliant beacuse it showed me a systematic approach to mentoring - Martin. Most useful bit was assessing a YP's learning style & adapting your approach to suit - Sammy. 

• Conflict Management. We discuss common causes of conflict and trauma and offer strategies to reduce their occurrence.

• Professional Boundaries. Staff attending this training, feel they have increased their understanding of the importance of boundaries, what action to take if boundaries are not being adhered to, self-awareness and better understanding of their own practices. Extremely interesting & informative. Learnt a lot about different strategies and alternative methods. Presenters knowledge and experience was most useful. Would recommend to others 

In fact, almost anything which effects a young person can be delivered to staff during Inset days (full or half days) or twilight sessions, as one off training or part of a rolling programme. We can also provide information sessions to your parents on particular topics identified within your school.
