Makaton Training UK - Delivering training in-person across the South West and Online across the UK

  • With 30 years of professional and personal experience. A background in health and social care, early years, and primary education, gives me a well-rounded understanding of communication needs in a wide range of settings.

  • I offer practical, engaging training that can be shaped to fit your setting — whether you’re part of a large health trust, a multi-site care or early years provider, an academy trust, a school, a small independent nursery, a care home or supported living organisation. My aim is to help you confidently embed Makaton into everyday practice, creating more inclusive and supportive environments for everyone.

  • As a guest speaker/trainer at universities and colleges across the South West, I love sharing my knowledge and inspiring future professionals in education, health, social care, and sport.

  • Delivering Makaton training both locally and nationally — from large charities and corporate teams to small, community-based settings. Every session is designed to make a real difference, giving you the tools and confidence to help the people you support.​.

I had a wonderful morning delivering training for the fantastic team at The Jessie May Trust, you can read more about their work with children with life-limiting conditions and their families HERE

On Wednesday I hosted a rare public training session delivering Level 3 in Weston super Mare, the vast majority of the training I deliver is for my clients, so I only occasionally run public sessions in Weston super Mare. Public courses are great for sharing knowledge and experiences as there's many different reasons as to why an individual is attending. Sometimes its just for general interest and learning a new skill, for others they may be part of a team working with children or adults or perhaps supporting someone at home, this leads to some wonderful discussions and sharing of knowledge!

I've also delivered a few online training courses including an Early Years Taster session which is always good fun!
