ADHD Awareness CPD Training & Workbook

A complete ADHD Awareness CPD package with an editable training presentation and reflective workbook for teachers and support staff.

This resource provides everything needed to deliver an engaging and informative ADHD awareness session for school staff. It is suitable for whole-school CPD, departmental meetings, or self-directed professional learning. The PowerPoint presentation explores what ADHD is, how it presents differently in children and young people, and how it can affect learning, behaviour, and wellbeing. The accompanying workbook encourages staff to reflect on their own practice, make notes, and plan practical changes to support pupils effectively.

The training includes clear explanations, reflection prompts, and examples of classroom strategies that promote focus, belonging, and emotional safety. It also explores the importance of self-esteem and reasonable adjustments under the SEND Code of Practice. Designed to last around 45–60 minutes, the session can be adapted for shorter or longer formats and delivered by SENCOs, pastoral leads, or classroom practitioners.

By completing the training, staff will gain a deeper understanding of ADHD as a neurodevelopmental condition rather than a behaviour issue. They will learn to recognise symptoms, apply inclusive strategies, and reflect on how small adjustments can make a significant difference to pupil engagement and wellbeing.

Both the PowerPoint and workbook are fully editable, making it easy to adapt the content for different settings, age groups, or staff needs. This resource is ideal for schools looking to strengthen inclusive practice, build confidence among staff, and create a supportive learning environment for all pupils.
