This session seeks to examine how the collaborative relationship between counselling and safeguarding teams can be strengthened, guided by insights from school counsellors at FOBISIA schools across the region. This is an opportunity to give voice to the unique role counsellors play within the safeguarding constellation, and share examples of counselling practice at Kellett.
A counsellor at Kellett School and former DSL and DDSL at another international school, I have a broad range of training and experience not only in mental health support for students and families, but in safeguarding practice, policy, and systems. I am passionate about collaborative team approaches to student-centered frameworks, and am looking forward to connecting with and learning from the dedicated FOBISIA safeguarding community.
This session is relevant for primary and senior colleagues.
It features insights from counselling practice at Kellett alongside data from across the region.
