School and College Resource Pack (SCRP)

If you have a child or young person returning to nursery, school or college after the lockdown, visit our Back To School information section for links to resources and support.


WESAIL has developed a resource pack for schools and colleges to use to raise awareness of the service amongst children and young people. This is particularly so that children and young people with SEND know what the service does and how it can help them. The pack contains lots of information that can be shared with children and young people, including:

  • Assembly PowerPoint presentations about the service
  • Group session plans, and resources, on Wellbeing related topics that children and young people with SEND have told us are important for them to learn about. They are:
  • Confidence and self esteem
  • Anxiety and stress
  • Managing angry feelings

The resource pack also contains information from WESAIL’s young people’s advisory group, Kid Squad, regarding what they want from schools and how they want to be supported. Here are their reasons as to why you should use the pack in your school or college:

  • It will help children and young people with SEND to know that it is OK to need extra support, and that they are not alone.
  • It will help other children and young people to understand about the support that children and young people with SEND may need in school or college.
  • It will help children and young people to understand what’s going on for them.
  • It will help children and young people to understand about the different resources out there.
  • WESAIL might be able to help the children and young people that you work with.
  • It might give you some information that you don’t already know.
  • It might help you to get to know a child or young person better.
  • It will help you to care for the children and young people that you work with.

Distance Learning Packages for Professionals

Please find below our new “Distance Learning workshops”.

These have been designed to be used flexibly - either independently; virtually such as in a team meeting or as a *face to face workshop (*where social distancing rulings can be met).

The pack includes: PowerPoint presentation Supportive documents Pre & post evaluation forms

NB: The pack is a distanced learning package in that all you need for it is within the attachments. You are not required to book or partake in anything additional.

We have devised it to aid services to work remotely and for those that need the flexibility to train staff as/when they can rather than at pre-determined dates set by us. We have not listed timings to them as individuals may choose to do in bite sized chunks

Professionals can train at their own pace: individually with a member of your team acting as “host” to use the PowerPoint for a virtual workshop so staff can partake in the group work that is shown on the slides

Or for those that are able, you might deliver it yourselves in a group setting face to face. The choice is yours!

Please be sure to complete and return the evaluation forms as detailed in order that we can continually improve our resources.

Happy work-shopping!
