Online Training on Childhood Anxiety
Gain an overview of childhood anxiety, the signs to look out for in children you work with, and learn some strategies to help children manage their anxiety in a school setting, while also supporting UEA to extend their evaluation of this newly-developed online training. Sign-up closes on 19 December 2025.
What is the current study?
We are looking to extend the evaluation of a newly-developed online training on childhood anxiety for school staff.
Who can get involved?
If you are a member of staff in an education setting who works directly with children aged between 4-11 years-old then you may be eligible to participate.
You may be a teacher, teaching / learning support assistant, a member of the pastoral support team, or in another role. We welcome anyone from any role as long as you fulfil the criteria described above.
What is involved?
There will be two timepoints to the study and your participation in both is strongly encouraged. The study will be completed online via a secure link.
The first timepoint will involve you completing an online training focused on childhood anxiety and answering three questionnaires before and immediately after the training. This is estimated to take around 75 minutes but may be shorter / longer depending on how long you take to answer the questions.
The second timepoint will be completed four weeks after you have completed the first timepoint. You will only be asked to complete questionnaires and you will not be asked to complete the training again at this timepoint. You will be sent the follow-up study link via email should you choose to provide this to contact you with.
What will I gain by taking part?
It is hoped the training will provide you with an overview of childhood anxiety, the signs to look out for in children you work with, and learn some strategies to help children manage their anxiety in a school setting. You can also opt in to be entered in a randomised prize draw to win one of five £20 voucher, for completing both timepoints of the study.
