Welcome to the ‘Universal’ Learning Path from County Durham and Darlington. This learning path is for all professionals working with children and young people to undertake.

Some of the sessions are highly recommended while others are highlighted as they may be particularly useful in certain settings.

• Introducing child development


• Mental health & well-being


• Self-harm and Risky Behaviour

• Vulnerable Groups – an overview


• People working in Child Mental Health

We encourage you to complete these e – learning sessions and certificates are available upon completion for your CPD, etc. To make sure your learning is tracked, register and sign in to MindEd. If you have already signed in, you can get to the Learning Path using ‘View’, above. If not, use Log In, and to find the Learning Path search ‘Durham’ at the home page. If you choose not to sign in, the same search will work, but your learning will not be tracked. Registration is free and your data will not be used for any other purposes.

We offer another tailored learning path for all Mental Health Leads and General Practitioners. If you feel this is not the learning path for you or you want to delve more into the topic, check out this specialised learning path here: Additional Sessions for all Mental Health Leads and General Practitioners
