Facilitators

Is there a cost for me to do the training?

The Parenting Research Centre currently offers professional training in Signposts on a fee for service basis. If your organisation is interested in hosting a training event, please contact the PRC: info@parentingrc.org.au.   

Will I have access to parent materials when I run a group? 

Trained facilitators have access to parent materials free of charge. These are currently available in hard copy and will soon be available to download from our website.   

Who is the training designed for? 

Training is designed for practitioners working with families of children who have a developmental delay or an intellectual disability and difficult or challenging behaviours. It is helpful to have a background in child development, psychology or therapy (though not essential). To get the most out of the training we would expect practitioners to run the program within three months of training.

I trained in Signposts a number of years ago but have not yet run a program. Can I still access materials? 

Yes you can access materials. However, it would be a good idea to co-facilitate with someone who has run the program recently, or perhaps consider attending the training again.  

How can I find out about becoming a Signposts faciliatator?

If you are interested in facilitator training download a Facilitator training request form and send in to us. We will iinform you when a training date is scheduled.

Can our organisation request Signposts training for our workers?

Yes, if you are interested in contracting Signposts to train workers in your organisation, we welcome your enquiries. Please feel free to contact us.
