This is a comprehensive introductory training program from Foundation House for those working with refugee background students. This training is appropriate for those working in schools and other educational settings, at primary, secondary and post compulsory levels.
The training covers:

• the refugee experience for young people including their prior education experiences
• the impact of trauma on young people's learning and wellbeing
• identifying strategies that teachers and other staff can use in the classroom that support the recovery process
• exploring a whole school approach and key areas where schools can increase support for refugee background students.

Participants will receive a copy of School's In for Refugees: a Whole School Guide to Refugee Readiness and a resource that assists schools in understanding refugee background issues and guides the implementation of a whole school approach to support.
