CPD and School-Based Training
Empowering educators to listen, understand and support every child.
At Liverpool Speech Therapy, we provide expert training to schools, nurseries, and education professionals across Liverpool, Wirral, Sefton, and Knowsley. Whether you're looking to upskill your staff in a specific area or introduce school-wide strategies, we deliver engaging, evidence-based training tailored to your setting.
Our Approach
Bespoke Training for Schools and Teams
We understand that no two schools or teams are the same. That’s why our training isn’t off-the-shelf. Each session is thoughtfully designed around your priorities, whether that’s developing classroom strategies for children with SLCN, deepening understanding of Autism, or supporting TAs to lead targeted interventions.
Sessions are practical, accessible, and underpinned by the latest research, helping your team translate theory into everyday practice with confidence.

"I attended the attention autism training and it was so useful! Lots of really engaging ideas to incorporate and really good demonstrations. Was also really helpful including practical elements where we got to give it a go!"

"We had a staff training from Louise and Georgie on blank levels. It was fantastic! They were so professional, so well organised and staff from across the school came away with greater knowledge and ideas that could be used in the classroom the next day. Our school has worked with Liverpool Speech Therapy for over 3 years and I couldn't recommend them more."

"Liverpool Speech Therapy Team provide a wonderful intervention that supports so many children and staff too. The team are always on hand to share their knowledge and expertise to which I personally am very grateful. Children love their visits and are always fully engaged and interacting with their therapist. It’s a joy to see!"
