CDEC's innovative new CARE course, developed to support primary and secondary schools and their teachers as children return to school after the coronavirus pandemic, is now available as an open course and you can book your place.
CDEC has developed CARE - Compassionate and Restorative Education, which is a new training course and toolkit for primary and secondary schools and their teachers, in response to the challenges schools are facing at the moment as a direct result of COVID-19. We recognise that the effects of COVID-19 for children, families, schools are not short lived.
Now you can book individual teachers onto the CARE open course
As well as running the course for whole schools, it is now possible to book individual teachers onto the open course - and there are two options: the Basic CARE Training Package and the Full Care Training Package.
The aim of CARE
The main aim of the CARE approach is to support teachers, pupils, schools and communities in a compassionate and restorative educational approach to aid transition, recovery and learning following COVID-19.
It empowers young people to become more compassionate, resilient learners and active citizens of the future.
