FAQs
Sleep Awareness training is for professionals who work with typically developing children, aged 18 months to 18 years, particularly those working 1:1 with children and families to conduct sleep assessments and implement sleep plans.
This course is designed for professionals working with vulnerable groups, where completion of such training is mandatory for their role. If the professional was working on sleep improvement with their service user and had any reasons to raise protection/safeguarding concerns they should have appropriate knowledge on how to do so in their working environment. We ask you to confirm your training on protection/safeguarding is current, we will not ask to see your certificate. Online self-led training, as well as face-to-face training, are both suitable and will be accepted.
Delegates on our Sleep Awareness training will have their resources emailed to them after the course.
