Access Supported Learning:
I Matter Training for Professional Learning
Educators in the Kendal area
This page is the place that all professional training starts. We ask you to submit an expression of interest with your interest supported by a senior professional from your own setting or a certified I Matter Link professional
Please note: This I Matter professional learning pathway combines online learning with study support of varied intensity
The I Matter approach focuses on building an understanding of the research evidence relevant to relationship health – taught in a very practical way. The goal is to help adults feel clearer more confident, less overwhelmed, and better supported so they can help children thrive.
We aim to support safe, structured, and joined-up learning. For that reason, all pathways begin with a short expression of interest and a supported start.
This helps us:
-
ensure the learning is right for you and your context
-
confirm what local or professional support is in place
-
clarify whether access is funded or self-funded
Completing these forms does not enrol anyone immediately.
It helps us confirm the right supported start for you.
