What staff found most useful about outreach training:
Just wanted to say a big thank you for yesterday's visit. Staff responded really well to the INSET and felt strongly that you 'got it' rather than they were being preached to about theory in an ideal world
Our staff members felt listened to and supported, so thanks again.

Celebrating the Success of SIAG
The success of the SIAG (specialist information advice and guidance) project in Cornwall has been overwhelmingly positive. With the project coming to a close, we are reflecting on what has been an excellent test and learn project.
SIAG was a project aimed at supporting mainstream schools to implement effective graduated responses by upskilling staff through specialist support. Funded by Delivering Better Value, the SIAG team have made waves across Cornwall.
47 schools supported
2 secondary 44 primary
8 Multi-Academy Trusts
11,748 children supported so far
Staff became empowered to use new and existing strategies, and the training and mentoring has built staff confidence to make effective decisions to meet children’s needs, especially around behaviour.
…staff are more aware of the underlying reasons for some behaviours and for some members (the well-established staff) had a change in mindset about what the behaviour is telling you.
The training made people think and to be more curious and to look at things in a different way. …shift in mindset for support around behaviour to understanding need.
Find out more about the success of the project and details of its impact in the case studies attached below. An action research report will be posted here summer 2025 so watch this space!
