Participants will gain the practical skills and an understanding of the theories behind them to carry out their roles as Intervenors. The course focuses on the in-service needs of Intervenors, Teaching Assistants, Learning Support Staff, Health & Social Care workers and those employed to give 1:1 support to learners who are congenitally multisensory impaired/deafblind, or who have a single sensory impairment with additional complex needs.

On successful completion of the five-day course participants will receive a certificate of attendance and can be classed as a Trained Intervenor. They are also eligible to join the National Organisation of Intervenors (NOI) and attend annual NOI Network days.
