Managing Staff Wellbeing & Resilience Training

Supporting the people who support our young people.

Join us for a half-day practical training session focused on staff wellbeing and resilience within Alternative Provision and other settings supporting children and young people with complex needs.

Working within Alternative Provision can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also bring unique pressures. Staff may regularly manage challenging situations, complex safeguarding concerns, emotionally demanding conversations and the impact of supporting young people who have experienced trauma or adversity.

Creating a culture where staff feel supported, valued and equipped to manage these demands is essential for both individual wellbeing and the quality and consistency of provision.

This session will explore practical ways for leaders and practitioners to recognise pressures, strengthen resilience and embed staff wellbeing into everyday organisational practice.

Throughout the session, we will explore:

• Understanding the pressures associated with working in Alternative Provision
• Recognising signs of stress, burnout and emotional fatigue
• Understanding the potential impact of working with trauma and complex needs
• Developing individual and team resilience
• Creating a positive and supportive workplace culture
• Encouraging open and appropriate conversations about wellbeing
• Supporting staff following challenging situations or incidents
• Effective supervision, check-ins and reflective practice
• Developing healthy professional boundaries
• Managing workload and competing demands
• Practical strategies for managing stress and maintaining wellbeing
• Understanding the role of leaders in promoting staff wellbeing
• Identifying when additional support may be needed
• Building psychological safety and trust within teams
• Supporting effective communication between colleagues
• Developing a consistent team approach to challenging situations
• Reducing isolation and encouraging collaborative working
• Embedding wellbeing within organisational policies and everyday practice
• Developing practical approaches to strengthen staff retention and engagement
• Creating an organisational approach to wellbeing and resilience

This training is particularly relevant for:

• Alternative Provision owners and leaders
• Provision managers
• Team leaders and supervisors
• Teachers and tutors
• AP practitioners and support workers
• SEND and pastoral staff
• Staff responsible for HR, wellbeing or workforce development
• Professionals working directly with children and young people with complex needs

Whether you are responsible for leading a team or working directly with young people, this session will provide practical approaches to creating a healthier, more resilient and supportive working environment.
