SBST & DBST Capacity Building
Equipping support teams with modern tools, training and referral pathways.
A year-long accredited programme that strengthens institutional capacity to implement SIAS end-to-end — from screening and SNA forms through to multi-disciplinary case management and reporting back to the DBE.
We work with the full SBST as a team — not just one champion. The programme is delivered in four accredited modules with quarterly supervision visits in between.
By the end of the year, each SBST has a published referral pathway, a digital case register and a memorandum of understanding with at least two community partners.
Evidence we hold ourselves to.
We share these metrics with every partner school and reflect them in quarterly reports to the District-Based Support Team.
