Hi Paula,
Although you may feel a little out of touch - and a lot has happened since 2006 in terms of legislatetion, policy etc. - your own skills and experience will have grown further since becoming a mum.
The best training is the kind that fills a gap for you, so identify where you think your gap/s might be and then look for the relevant training.
One way of finding out what your gaps are is by looking at current job despriptions and criteria then seeing how well you can fill in the application form. You may then find that you feel okay with applying for jobs and could take on some continuing professional development (CPD) whilst in post.
Every success,
Margaret
