The course considers the background, the implications, the requirements and the practices that are needed for the ECM agenda to work in schools and relevant settings. It shows the main features of provision, and how this may impact on the outcomes for children. It also seeks to identify ways to monitor provision and outcomes and the implications for inspection.
Learners will raise their awareness of the implications of the ECM agenda and fill gaps in their knowledge about the implementation in practice. They will gain several simple ways of checking their setting/school’s provision and monitoring outcomes in recognition of the role of inspection.

Persistent failure to communicate affects childrens educational, social and emotional development and creates high anxiety for both families and Professionals. When children converse freely at home - but not in other situations such as school - the term "selective mutism" can be used to describe their behaviour. Selective Mutism is a much misunderstood condition, and that often presents itself as stubbornness, attention seeking and manipulation is in fact avoidance behaviour arising from severe anxiety. This session aims to provide an overview of patterns of communication withdrawal and assessment, and furnish you with practical techniques that can be used at home as well as at school.
