Listening Skills course

The session introduces the learner to some of the overarching policy and legislative guidance that underpins the importance of listening to children, through to a summary of listening skills. We will consider barriers to effective listening, include issues of diversity and disability, and take age into account when thinking about listening to children and young people.
