Silver accreditation criteria and requirements
Silver accredited teams demonstrate a commitment to embedding Togetherness across their whole community and within day-to-day work of the team. The impacts are felt across the culture of the team and in the work with children, families and others.

Togetherness recognises silver standard teams as those that have embedded the principles and framework across all areas of the work of the team over more than one year. Silver teams ensure staff have access to Togetherness training and they would ensure that 60% or more of staff (across all areas) have participated in the core 2 Day Foundation training.

 Leadership support and framework integration
Furthermore, the teams’ leadership teams embrace the Togetherness framework and support the ongoing offer to train staff and offer reflective supervision. Typically, staff will also engage in advanced training (around 20% of staff would be trained in advanced or specialist training).

Implementation across team practices
Silver accredited teams are working to embed the principles of the Solihull Approach model throughout the day-to-day work of the team. They use the model to shape behaviour support plans, values frameworks, or even curriculum sessions. They also commit to supporting reflective sessions throughout the year, staff coaching and further developing a culture that champions containment and understands reciprocity.

 Community engagement and family participation
The teams clearly embrace Togetherness across their community, ensuring families are also aware of what the approach means in the team and are encouraged to engage in the online learning and resources offered on www.togetherness.co.uk/learn.
