Student wellbeing: Teachers offered specialist support

Teachers are being offered free access to specialist support to help them talk to students about the pandemic, managing anxiety and related wellbeing issues.


The See, Hear, Respond Partnership – led by charity Barnardo’s and funded by the Department for Education (DfE) – is offering a range of resources for those working with children as well as a telephone helpline.

Meanwhile, in a separate initiative, charity Place2Be has launched online training focused on children’s mental health, which is to be made available to 50,000 UK teachers.

Earlier this year, Barnardo’s warned about the potential “trauma gap” between young people who may cope well with the return to the classroom and others who are now struggling to cope for various reasons because of the effects of Covid-19 and the lockdown.
