Makaton Training for Charities & Children's Services

I provide practical Makaton training for charities, children's services and organisations supporting children, young people and adults with communication differences.

Tailored Training for Your Organisation
No two organisations are the same.
Training can be tailored around your staff, the people you support and the situations in which communication takes place.
Options include:
Makaton Levels 1–4
Progressive training for staff teams.
Makaton Workshops
Focused sessions around particular areas of communication.
Bespoke Training
Training created around your organisation's specific requirements.
Regular Training
Ongoing sessions to support continued learning and staff development.
Practical, Engaging & Relevant
My training is designed to help staff move from learning Makaton to using Makaton.
Sessions are practical and interactive, giving staff the opportunity to practise and consider how they can use their learning in everyday situations.
Supporting Organisations Across the UK
I have experience delivering training to both large organisations and smaller community settings.
Training can be provided for individual teams or, where appropriate, organisations with multiple services and staff groups.
