EDUCATION WEBINAR LEARNINGS
The Coronavirus pandemic has meant significant changes for all of us in our day to day lives. For children and educators the disruption has been significant.
Children and teachers alike have had to discover how to learn and teach remotely. With schools open again, what challenges now face us in ensuring we safeguard our pupils?
In this webinar, we discuss the challenges educators are facing and the wide range of difficulties children are experiencing due to the pandemic. We will be exploring how we can look to safeguard pupils, and look after their mental wellbeing in these uncertain times.

I started at Great Barr Academy in 1994 as an NQT in PE and Dance. I was so passionate about teaching and making a difference to the pupils I taught. I don’t teach anymore but I have never lost that passion for my work and the profession. I started working in the pastoral care of pupils in my second Year of teaching. I have been a Head of House, Head of Inclusion, Assistant Head Inclusion and Deputy Headteacher and Designated Safeguarding lead. It is such a challenging role but incredibly rewarding.
