Awareness training

This training is for anyone who is interested in building their awareness of PANS and PANDAS.  

Organised by Twinkl in collaboration with PANS PANDAS UK, this training aims to provide valuable insights and strategies for teaching assistants, teachers and parents.

  • What the conditions are and how they can present in school.​
  • How symptoms affect learning, behaviour, wellbeing and attendance.​
  • What schools can observe, document and share appropriately.​
  • How the SEND Code of Practice, medical‑needs guidance and whole‑school systems support pupils.​

Please see our training FAQs for more information, or email the education team at schools@panspandasuk.org.
