Download them, print them and use them within your own professional practice (Note, not made for mass reproduction, for a license please contact us directly)
Digestible Mini-Masterclasses
Professional development doesn’t always need to mean spending an entire day in training.
Our bite-sized 10–20 minute masterclasses explore key topics in child and family emotional well-being in a practical and accessible way.
Learn something new, refresh your knowledge or develop a deeper understanding of the psychology behind the strategies you use with children.
Perfect for a short training session to enhance knowledge or learn a skill without needing to schedule hours out of your day.
Monthly Live Q&A
Sometimes you don’t need another course, you simply need somewhere to ask the question.
Each month, members are invited to a live Q&A where we can explore topics, ideas and challenges relating to your work with children and families.
Bring your questions, listen to the discussions or simply join us to continue developing your knowledge.
Regular Guest Trainings
Throughout the year, we’ll welcome guest professionals to share their specialist knowledge with the community.
Guest sessions will introduce you to different areas of expertise, perspectives and approaches giving you opportunities to continue expanding your professional toolkit without having to enrol on another full qualification. Recordings will be available in the DEN to access and review later too.
A Community to Support You
Working with children and families can sometimes feel lonely, particularly when you are working independently or carrying responsibility for emotional and pastoral support within a busy setting.
The Dandelion Education Network gives you a community of professionals who get it. A focus on building one another up, supporting development and celebrating successes. A place to:
- Share ideas
- Ask questions
- Discuss resources
- Learn from one another
- Celebrate successes
- Find inspiration
- Feel professionally connected
Because supporting others is much easier when you have support around you too.
Your Resource Library Keeps Growing
