Schools can choose whether and how to follow or adapt this training module and should refer to the Early Career Framework for pedagogical guidance. Subject leads using this presentation in training should also refer to the ‘Activities and templates for trainers’ section. 3 Wellbeing and coronavirus (COVID-19) This training supports implementation of Relationships, Sex and Health Education, in accordance with requirements set out in the statutory guidance. The training will: ● benefit staff working on mitigating the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on pupils’ mental health and wellbeing ● increase staff confidence in pastoral work in subjects such as Personal, Social and Health Education As the module’s evidenced approach predates the outbreak, teachers should also bear in mind coronavirus restrictions in their teaching (e.g. referring to social distancing rules when encouraging pupils to find ways to boost their wellbeing). 4 Support during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak It is understandable for children to feel anxious about coronavirus. The return to school should help by providing routine and a sense of stability. Schools should still consider how to support pupils who may: ● continue to have anxieties related to the virus ● have found the long period at home hard to manage ● be subject to safeguarding concerns ● make safeguarding disclosures after returning to school ● have lost family members to the virus ● be currently transitioning into a new educational phase Schools will also need to consider the wellbeing of all staff and implement flexible working practices to promote a good work-life balance for teachers and leaders. 5 Addressing possible impacts of coronavirus (COVID-19) Teachers should ensure pupils have opportunities to: ● develop coping skills and self-care techniques ● talk about their experiences during the outbreak ● have one-to-one conversations with trusted adults, if needed ● learn about topics related to coronavirus (e.g. how to stay alert) ● renew and develop friendships and peer groups ● take part in other enriching developmental activities Schools should update their safeguarding procedures. 6
