THE PURPOSE
Strengthen the adults who hold difficult moments.
The moments that change a person’s trajectory are not always formal interventions. Dragonfly CPD strengthens how practitioners understand behaviour, build trust and respond in the everyday moments that matter.
Change practice
Applied scenarios, reflection and practical tools help learning travel into real conversations and decisions.
Grow confidence
Clear learning pathways give practitioners and organisations stronger shared language, oversight and evidence of development.
What it teaches
The skills behind
every Baxter Project session.
Dragonfly CPD teaches the skills, judgement and engagement techniques that have made The Baxter Project effective — so any school, service or organisation can raise the standard of its everyday practice.
01
Trauma-informed practice
Understanding how adversity shapes behaviour, and how to respond in ways that build safety rather than shame.
02
Professional curiosity
Asking better questions about behaviour before reaching for a label or a sanction.
03
Emotional regulation
Practical tools for helping children — and adults — manage state before expecting engagement.
04
Safeguarding awareness
Confident, current safeguarding knowledge embedded into everyday practice, not treated as a separate module.
05
Values-led support
Helping practitioners connect their day-to-day decisions back to what they actually care about.
06
Confident decision-making
Judgement for complex, ambiguous situations — not just procedures for straightforward ones.
More than a training day

Dragonfly helps practitioners learn, apply and retain good practice while giving managers a clear view of assignments, progress, scores, certificates and development needs.

Why it matters
Ordinary moments.
Extraordinary effect.
The moments that change a child's trajectory are not always formal interventions. They are how an adult responds to a child who refuses to engage, how a teacher interprets behaviour, how a practitioner builds trust. Dragonfly CPD is focused on improving those moments at scale.
Who it's for
Schools
Children's services
Charities
Corporate & social valueIndividual practitionersOur own team
Built for organisations who want their staff to do more than tick a compliance box — training that feels practical, meaningful and connected to real children in real settings.
HOW THE PLATFORM WORKS
Know it. Use it. Keep it.
Dragonfly moves practitioners from accurate knowledge to everyday judgement, then gives them something to keep using afterwards.
Foundation
Accurate framework knowledge, with CPD time recorded automatically as staff complete it.
Applied practice
Realistic scenarios where more than one answer sounds reasonable — building judgement, not just recall.
Toolbox
Scripts and reference cards practitioners keep and reuse long after the module ends.

What makes Dragonfly CPD stand out is that it's built on the science of how people actually learn — corrective feedback and the behavioural science principles behind it. That is what will drive its effectiveness, and the continuing growth in skill and practice of the people who use it.
