“Rachel’s training for our teachers and support staff was engaging, informative, and very well received. Cultivating good relationships between parents and professionals is an essential part of our work and the insight that Rachel provided has really helped us to develop this further. Thank you!”
Paula Marten, Assistant Headteacher, Chailey Heritage Foundation
Guyatt House, is on a mission to empower every individual with a disability to exercise their right to choice, opportunity, respect, and dignity. Born at the Right Time delivered a bespoke training package for their staff which enabled change in communicating and collaborating with parents and carers.
“The team thoroughly enjoyed the communication training delivered by Born at the Right Time. It was incredibly engaging and provided a unique perspective that we haven’t found in other training. The session truly changed the way we collaborate with parents and has had a lasting positive impact on the way we work together as a team.”
Hayley Reeve, Quality Assurance Manager
A muti-agency training day with over 120 delegates from SEN services, local authority and healthcare was delivered in Hull Central Hall. The training included stories from local parent carers gathered in workshops the day before, injecting the heart of local lived experience into a dynamic and engaging day of training.
“The training day was a game-changer. Practitioners left inspired, equipped, and eager to implement what they’d learned. The day combined practical strategies, powerful insights, and a unique ability to foster meaningful discussions. It was a truly transformative experience that empowered professionals to make a tangible difference in their practice. Highly recommended!”
Laura Jones, Director Hull Parent Carer Forum
In-person and follow-up on-line training sessions with Community Occupational team exploring current provision and supporting the implementation of new ways of working.
“An incredibly powerful and thought-provoking series of training sessions. Hearing real-life experiences from parent carers was both humbling and eye-opening, challenging us as professionals to reflect deeply on how we communicate and collaborate with families. Time with Rachel gave our team a renewed appreciation for the emotional and logistical load carried by parent carers every day. This training has not only strengthened our empathy, but also empowered us to be more intentional, respectful, and compassionate in our practice. Truly transformative.”
