Workshops
Our practical workshops are designed for child and family workers such as family support workers, SENCOs and health professionals. If you're looking to become more familiar with children's sleep or start the path of becoming a certified sleep practitioner, our training will equip you with the necessary skills and confidence.
We also work with charities and organisations to deliver in-house training for them, specifically tailored to their needs. With authentic case studies, proven techniques, and professional support, each workshop is tailored to help you make a real difference.
Workshops are held throughout the year and cover a range of key topics in children's sleep assistance. Take a look at some of our subjects below and choose the ideal workshop for you.
Each of our workshops are priced at £100 per person - please get in touch if you would like to receive a group booking price.
