Training for professionals

Professional events

Throughout the year the Hope Service run and host events for professionals, including social workers, teachers, nurses, family support workers and others who are involved in the care of young people who maybe experiencing difficulties.

Please check back regularly for any additional training opportunities.

Twilight sessions for Surrey secondary school teachers, support staff and colleges

The Hope Service are offering our popular Twilight sessions. The sessions will be delivered via Microsoft Teams. As these sessions are interactive the facilitators will ask participants to switch on their cameras. Failure to do this will result in your school/college being withdrawn from future sessions.

If you are a Surrey secondary school teacher, learning support, teaching assistant and Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) or College staff you can register for as many sessions as you like. You must use your Surrey school/college email address to book otherwise your booking will not be accepted.

A Microsoft teams link will be emailed to the registered school or college address a few days before the event. If you are unable to attend, please let us know as we could offer a space to a colleague.
