Makaton Training

Empowering Communication, Building Inclusion

At Hastings and Bexhill Mencap, we are proud to offer Makaton training delivered by a qualified and experienced Makaton tutor.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, carer, support worker, or an organisation looking to build a more inclusive environment, our training covers Levels 1 to 4 — giving you the skills to communicate more effectively with people who have communication difficulties.

Why learn Makaton?

Support staff and carers

Improve the quality of care and support by using Makaton to communicate clearly and consistently with individuals who use alternative communication methods.

 

Parents and families

Build stronger connections and reduce frustration by learning to understand and communicate with your child or family member in a meaningful way.

Teachers & Educators

Support inclusive teaching and help all pupils engage fully in lessons and school life by making communication accessible to every learner.

Businesses and organisations

Make your workplace or service more inclusive and accessible by equipping your team with the tools to communicate with a broader range of customers and colleagues.

Makaton Training Options

We offer Makaton Levels 1–4, suitable for both individuals and groups. Training can be arranged onsite or at a suitable venue. Each level builds on the last, deepening your understanding and expanding your vocabulary. Participants will receive an official certificate of attendance from The Makaton Charity upon completion of each level.
