Lauren Beveridge Email and Phone Number

I am currently part of Cohort 20 of the National Graduate Development Programme (NGDP) based at Northumberland County Council. As part of this programme, I am undertaking placements in a range of departments to develop my leadership skills.Alongside this, I am working towards an ILM Level 7 qualification in Leadership and Management in Local Government.

I held a caseload of 20-30 children and young people, working with families with a range of complex needs. I acted as lead professional for these individuals, chairing TAF (Team Around the Family) meetings, undertaking 1:1 work with young people and parents and completing assessments on each family.Alongside my caseload I facilitated Incredible Years, Strengthening Families and the Solihull Approach parenting courses.

I worked as a primary school teacher based in Key Stage One with overall responsibility for writing and implementing the PSCHE and RE curriculum areas as well as monitoring performance throughout the school.I specialised in SEN with a particular focus on children with ASD.I also spent an academic year developing and implementing an Early Years provision for a mainstream primary school, working alongside EYFS advisers from the Local Authority.

I held the title of classroom teacher for a mixed Year 1 and 2 class. I line-managed my support staff as well as developing a whole-school PSCHE programme.
