ELSA: Supervision 

Since most ELSAs are likely to have had no specific psychological training beyond those insights provided through initial ELSA training, it is essential for them to receive regular on-going support that develops their knowledge and understanding in these areas. Without this they may be left floundering as they seek to support children with a complex range of needs.

There is also a risk of them being asked to deal with issues beyond their level of competence which in reality require much more specialist professional input. Therefore, to practice as an ELSA they must receive regular supervision which is provided by an Educational Psychologist.

ELSAs are eligible to join supervision sessions if they have attended either

• September to December 2022 cohort
• September to December 2023 cohort.
• September to December 2024 cohort

As each supervision cohort runs over 6 dates and the first date has a confirmed school hosting. For the remaining 5 dates the expectation is that a different school will host the supervision session and this will be organised within the group accordingly.
