Online Live Workshop 
Description
This workshop explores how to think more clearly about different models of support in school-based practice across AHP roles. It looks at universal, targeted, consultative, and specialist input, and helps participants consider how to match level of support to need, participation goals, context, service capacity, and professional role. It is especially relevant where school teams need clearer shared understanding of what different levels of AHP input are for, and when more specialist support is needed.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- describe the purposes of universal, targeted, consultative, and specialist support within school-based AHP practice
- discuss common tensions around direct work, consultation, role boundaries, and service expectations
- consider how level of input can be matched more clearly to need, participation goals, context, and available capacity
- reflect on how these decisions are currently made in their own service or setting
- leave with clearer language for explaining and justifying different levels of support
Participants will learn it through model-based teaching, discuss it with colleagues from similar services, apply it to current caseload and service decisions, reflect on role boundaries and expectations, and take it back into practice through clearer planning.
We know that school-based practice can look very different depending on your role, setting, and service model. Our small tutor groups are matched, as far as possible, by professional and practice context, for example, mainstream schools, specialist schools, visiting services, or integrated school-based roles. This helps OT, PT, SLT and wider AHP colleagues explore ideas in ways that feel relevant, supportive, and easier to take back into everyday practice.
Learn it. Discuss it. Apply it. Reflect on it. Take it back into practice.
