Schools Partnership Programme
With increased requests for direct therapeutic support in schools for vulnerable pupils we, at Headsight, soon realised that there was a limit to what could be provided on a direct service basis. We also recognise that the most trusted adults in a child’s life and those who spend the most time with them are the most likely to support positive change.
- A training and qualifications programme for staff across the school.
- Regular supervision and reflective practice sessions.
- Access to additional in- school and outdoor support for vulnerable pupils.
