Governor Training - Poverty and Disadvantage

In this course, governors look at some of the most recent statistics around poverty and disadvantage and identify some of the elements in their own settings that may contribute to a rise in numbers of pupils living in poverty locally.
You will understand the difference between, poverty, disadvantage and vulnerability and draw connections between them, linking understanding to your own circumstances and settings.
You will explore how yours and others’ perceptions can heavily influence the way you / your staff behave and the impact this can have on students.
You be introduced to resilience as a process and identify ways in which you can nurture and develop this.

You will also look at the close links poverty and disadvantage have with Trauma related behaviours and examine ways they can begin to positively influence some of these issues through connected thinking and appropriate planning within their settings or from a governor perspective, how they can support staff in ensuring the school’s work in this areas is effectively supported and challenged.
