New e-learning from Barnardo's

Children's charity Barnardo's, working in partnership with online learning developers Nelson Croom, has released two new e-learning programmes which aim to inform professionals about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and behaviour in schools.

The training courses form part of a new training, learning and consultancy service Barnardo's tlc.

'ADHD: The facts, Living with ADHD and Managing behaviours' is designed to help professionals such as social and health workers, teachers and the police to better help and work with affected children and young people.

The second programme, 'Promoting Positive Behaviour', aims to support teachers in managing and reducing challenging behaviour in primary school.

Julian Walker, UK Director of Policy and Research at Barnardo's, said: "These are key issues in our work, and are particularly hot topics at the moment. It's an ideal opportunity for us to pilot e-learning which we feel will help make our experience and expertise available on a much wider basis than we are currently able to offer using traditional methods of training only.

“Of course our first priority is to help and protect vulnerable children – that's what Barnardo's is about. But we must not lose sight of this as a commercial venture.

“Nelson Croom have enabled us to develop products that, we hope, will not only help those children but also generate income for Barnardo's that can be reinvested in good causes."

Jacqui Nelson, Business Development Manager at Nelson Croom, said: "We are delighted to be working in partnership with Barnardo's. We have done a lot of work in the not-for-profit sector and always welcome the opportunity to help guide our partners through their first steps into e-learning."
