Professional learning

Using PPU well

Practical guidance for integrating Power Phrase System into your own evidence-based practice with children aged 6–12. The cards are immediately usable; this is about using them thoughtfully.

What it covers

Grounded in frameworks you know

PPU is a recombination of established frameworks — affect labelling, scaffolding, character strengths, narrative re-authoring and SEL structure — delivered as a card sequence. Professional learning focuses on how to weave that into your own model.

Foundations

The clinical rationale

Why safety precedes language, and how the modal dial gives a child a way to express readiness — with the literature behind each idea.

In session

Sequencing the cards

Choosing which deck to bring in, when to fade your support, and how to keep agency with the child.

Integration

Within your model

Sitting PPU alongside CBT, trauma-informed, person-centred and play-based work — as an addition, not a replacement.

A note on accreditation: formal CPD accreditation is in development. We describe current materials as professional learning resources rather than accredited CPD, and we'll update this page as that changes.
