EDI: There will be comfort breaks and 45 minutes for lunch but please take additional breaks when needed. We will be working with sand trays on desks/or the floor please let me know if you have a preference. There is soft-lighting in the Horsfall but please let me know if you need any additional adjustments. The training can feel quite heavy, if you have young people booked in, I’d advise leaving a small break in-between to get a breather.
If you require any adjustments to make attending this session more comfortable or accessible, please contact Navina.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to enhance your skills and make a positive impact!
