Taking Care of People You Lead
A programme of three interconnected online sessions for Senior Leadership in education. These sessions will be co-delivered by Barnardo’s Education Community and Barnardo’s Scotland.
Mental Health and Wellbeing does not exist in a vacuum. There are multiple interdependencies and influences through our relationships and systems. By considering your own and your teams personal health and wellbeing needs, you can then develop strategies and resources which link authentically to any support you offer to others.
Who should participate in the Taking Care of People You Lead sessions?
Senior leaders across schools and settings (early years, primary, secondary, special and all through schools, or FE) from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
What is in each session?
Session 1 (You)
People are supported to manage their own mental health and wellbeing
We need to understand that we all have mental health and recognise when our wellbeing might be at risk. This session gives participants an interactive experience - through whole group discussion and breakout space - to reflect on what will help them manage the stresses and strains of life in relation to their work.
Session 2 (Others)
People are supported to recognise influences on others mental health and wellbeing
We need to support the workforce to recognise the impact that trauma can have on their, and others, actions and behaviours. This session offers an opportunity for participants to consider how they view and engage with each other through a relational lens.
Session 3 (Culture)
People are supported to consider the impact ethos and culture has on mental health and wellbeing
This session offers participants the opportunity to consider the wider environment/culture in which they operate and how it could improve to better meet the wellbeing needs of all.
