Exploring Community Wellbeing - where are we now?

Join us on Tuesdays 4th and 11th March for Exploring Community Wellbeing - where are we now, 5.30pm-6.30pm, online.

Even  years on from the first lockdown, educators are encountering children and young people who are still affected by the pandemic and the longer cost-of-living crisis.  Attendance is down, learners often seem more fragile emotionally, or have unexpected gaps in their learning or personal development.  Others are fine one day and struggling the next.  This all adds significantly to teachers’ workload as everyone is working hard to meet the needs

Session 1 – what’s with the kids?

Input and reflection on research-informed understandings of how major public traumas such as pandemics affect children and young people, how this can help explain what we see, or don’t see, in schools and what we can do to help recovery.

Session 2 – what about us?

Educators have also experienced the pandemic and also are living through the same difficult times as our learners.  This session considers the on-going impacts of the last four years on staff and how we can look after ourselves, in a context of rising needs and increasing workload demands.

Please book your place via the online booking form.
