Do you work with students with SEND? Whether you’re in a mainstream school or a special school? Then our next webinar is for you.

We know that working with children and young people with SEND can be incredibly rewarding. You help them to overcome obstacles, grow in confidence and make real progress.

It’s also often work that challenges your skills, expertise and emotions. Without the right support, these challenges could also affect your mental health and wellbeing. For all school staff, being well enables you to do the best possible job, making a lasting impact on young lives.

Join our webinar with The National Association of Special Schools (NASS) on Wednesday 29 January at 4pm. We’ll explore how staff can stay mentally well and engaged in the classroom.

You’ll hear:

  • guidance on how to recognise and mitigate wellbeing challenges
  • how to switch off from your role and strategies for coping with stress
  • support on how to care for your own wellbeing and where to turn to for help

Joining Sinéad Mc Brearty from Education Support and Claire Dorer from NASS, we have:

  • Lynn How, SENCO
  • Elizabeth Farnden, headteacher
  • and more speakers to be announced soon!

We welcome staff who work with SEND pupils in any setting to attend.
