Useful Documents, Advice & Guidance
This webpage has been reorganised to list documents, advice and guidance that you may find useful. They have been categorised by the areas of healthy child development and to reflect the broad areas of need by the SEND Code of Practice (Communication and Interaction / Cognition and Learning / Social, Emotional and Mental Health / Sensory and/or Physical), plus one category for systems and processes. Please use the buttons below to navigate to the area of training that you are looking for.
This new approach is a work in progress and we are hoping to make it easier to locate specific training from a number of providers by listing it all on this webpage.
If you are looking for SEND training, you can find it on this page: SEND Workforce Development
For any queries or feedback about this new approach, please contact enquiries@learnsheffield.co.uk.

Communication and Interaction
Speech and Language Therapy Stammering Team
Stammering advice for teachers and others
Stammering posters for teachers
One of the reasons training for teachers is so important is that stammering is largely an invisible condition and not always obvious to others. We know that the thing which helps children who stammer the most is to have people around them who are supportive and understand about stammering. This can help to prevent any anxiety around stammering from taking hold, which is the most concerning aspect about having a stammer and a reality for many children.
The session will cover the following areas:
- Information about stammering in children
- How stammering develops
- How you can support them and help make talking easier for them
There will also be an opportunity for you to ask questions and share your experiences with other education staff.
