MAST CPD Programme
A suite of over 50 core courses to keep school and MAT staff up-to-date across a range of current research and practice advice.
This popular collection of training experiences is designed for all school staff. It has been established over several years, is extremely well-evaluated and continues to grow. Constructed in collaboration with schools, it comprises over 50 core courses, with more courses being developed and added over time.
Involving all disciplines within MAST, our CPD programme is available at no additional charge to MAST subscribing schools. The programme is offered in parallel with our subscription period of April to March, and training is available throughout the year.
Your questions around our services
How do I access your support?
You will need to talk with your child's school to consider if a MAST request would be possible and helpful.
What might involvement with a member of your multi-agency support team, MAST, look like?
Your first meeting with a professional from MAST might be to discuss your concerns, possibly with school staff present. You might also meet a MAST professional in a meeting with others involved, where your child's needs are being discussed and a plan of support is being put together.
How quickly would a member of MAST become involved with a child?
Following a request for MAST to be involved (made by the school SENCo in collaboration with parents/carers), a quick response to school within a week will be sent and soon after this a key worker from MAST will be allocated and make contact with you and school to assess needs and plan an appropriate multi-agency response as required.
Do we have to review risk assessments annually?
It is at your discretion to decide when a review is deemed necessary, but risk assessments are a working document and, as your activities, staff or other experiences change, this information should be recorded and updated. As a guide, it is recommended that risk assessments be reviewed on an annual basis.
