The PIVATS PSED Toolkit is now available to purchase
We are excited to announce that the PIVATS toolkit is now available. This is a practical resource that sits alongside the PIVATS PSED assessment tool. As many of you will be aware, PIVATS PSED can be used for assessing children's independence and self-help skills; social awareness and relationships; behaviour for learning and emotional aspects. Although many schools have found PIVATS PSED to be particularly useful for children with SEND who experience SEMH challenges, it can also be used more widely with groups and even whole classes. Many of the assessment criteria now have information and resources/guidance on how to develop those particular aspects of PSED with practical teaching and learning suggestions – so it is a very practical resource.
Schools may find it particularly useful at the moment in light of the COVID situation and the fact that OFSTED highlighted the large number of children who have regressed in terms of social and emotional learning. Also, the EEF toolkit highlights that social and emotional learning may increase children's progress by an additional four months.
To see a demonstration of samples of the PSED toolkit and to view a range of short videos relating to PIVATS and its associated resources, you can visit the PIVATS website.
Alternatively you can contact the PIVATS team on (01772) 531555 or via pivats@lancashire.gov.uk.
The cost of the toolkit is £50 (plus VAT where applicable) for those schools which have already purchased the PSED milestones, in either DVD or hard copy format, or £180 (plus VAT where applicable) where they have not.
