Education Scotland extend coaching offer to educational staff

We are delighted to announce that Education Scotland are offering an extension to the workforce support package offer to include group coaching sessions to support health and wellbeing.

Education Scotland coaching offer to support staff health and wellbeing 

One to one coaching sessions have been offered to the education profession since 2020 as part of the workforce support package funded by the Scottish Government to help practitioners in navigating the challenges caused by Covid-19. This offer has now been extended to include five additional group coaching sessions and a ‘Supporting the Supports’ group to ensure practitioners and local authority staff who are supporting others do not face isolation in the challenges of their role.
