• Course overview

    Eligibility: This course is open to South Gloucestershire education professionals working in Early Years, which includes childminders, pre-schools, nurseries and school reception classes. 

    There continues to be a significant increase in Early Years children at risk of exclusion from their settings, often linked to poorly managed transitions. Transitions occur throughout an entire person’s life, in both life stages, events, changes throughout the day, and even in between tasks.  

    This 3 hour module aims to provide delegates with the knowledge, skills and understanding to plan transitions and implement processes to improve the education and wellbeing of children in the Early Years.

    On completion of the module, delegates will receive a Practical Support Pack which contains a collection of practical tools, templates, top tips and checklists to use to support autistic children.
