PACE for Parents

PACE for Parents is an introductory parenting framework developed by clinical psychologist Dr Dan Hughes. The model provides parents and caregivers with a “way of being” that fosters safety, trust, and emotional connection, particularly for children who struggle with emotional regulation, anxiety, or attachment difficulties.

These two interactive workshops move parents away from traditional behaviour management (such as rewards and punishments) and toward relationship-focused parenting.

To ensure safety and clarity, PACE for Parents is not:

  • A space to discuss individual cases or personal family situations

  • Therapy, counselling, or one-to-one intervention

  • Advice or guidance about social services, legal processes or court proceedings

  • Please consider booking separated parents on different dates to enable full participation

E-learning Follow-On Courses

While standalone e-learning is ideal for self-paced study, and Zoom excels at real-time group interaction, combining the two creates a far more dynamic learning experience.

Using them together gives you the best of both worlds:

  • Flexible Foundation: Learners absorb core concepts, policy frameworks, and essential theory on their own time through interactive e-learning modules.
  • Deep Practice: Live Zoom sessions transform passive knowledge into active skills through breakout discussions, practical scenarios, and live Q&A.
  • Sustained Impact: Digital materials remain accessible for ongoing reference long after the live session ends.
  • Proven Results: Combining flexible online knowledge building with live, reflective discussion leads to significantly higher retention rates, better critical thinking during crises, and consistent standards of care across your entire workforce.

Empowering Safety: Bespoke Safeguarding & Child Protection Training

Why Choose Bespoke Training?

Generic training can leave staff feeling unprepared for the real-life scenarios they face. Our tailored approach ensures the content, delivery method, and case studies are directly relevant to your sector (e.g., education, healthcare, sport, charity, corporate), your local policies, and the specific vulnerabilities and risks present in your community.

Our Specialised Training Pillars

We design engaging, practical, and compliant training across three core areas:

  • For Professionals Working with Children (Child Protection): Focuses on recognising the signs of abuse and neglect, statutory guidance (e.g., Working Together to Safeguard Children), robust reporting procedures, and the creation of a safe, child-focused culture.
  • For Professionals Working with Adults (Adult Safeguarding): Focuses on the principles of the Care Act, understanding different types of harm, promoting wellbeing, Mental Capacity Act (MCA) considerations, and ensuring person-led safeguarding responses.
  • Blended Cohorts (Safeguarding for All Ages): Ideal for organisations whose staff or volunteers interact with both children and adults (e.g., community centres, housing associations, religious organisations). This training highlights the common principles of good practice while clearly delineating the different legal frameworks, signs of harm, and reporting routes for each demographic.

Invest in training that transforms knowledge into action. Equip your team with the confidence and competence to protect those in your care proactively.
