Emotional Literacy Support Assistants (ELSA)

What is it?

The ELSA project is a six-day training programme aiming to enable support staff to develop emotional literacy interventions for pupils within the school. Staff attend training days and group supervision sessions led by Educational Psychologists. Upon completion of the training, a new role is created within the school and the member of staff has an additional new title: Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA).

 

What are the benefits?

Staff will receive training in planning and delivering programmes of support to pupils in their school who are experiencing temporary or longer term additional emotional needs. The majority of ELSA support is expected to be delivered on an individual basis, but sometimes some small group work will be appropriate, especially in the areas of social skills.

 

Who can join the training?

Teaching Assistants, SEN Assistants, Learning Mentors, Family Liaison Workers
