About this event

We want to train youth workers, school chaplains and school pastors to offer virtual 1:1 support to children identified by primary schools as needing support with their transition to secondary school.

The sudden closure of schools in March has made the normal Y6 journey very different from ‘normal’. Depending on what the government decide over the next week and what parents decide to do in light of this decision, some Y6’s may go back before the end of the school year, some may not.

We’ll look at some of the help and guidance that children might need as they prepare themselves for Y7, think together about how we listen and respond to children’s concerns and what that support might look like being delivered remotely rather than in person.

Our training will focus on delivering support to individuals rather than groups, and relies on you being able to engage your local primary school(s) in making referrals for support. It will be most suitable for those who are ordinarily used to engaging children/young people in either a paid or voluntary capacity and are already DBS/validated to work with young people by their church, school, organisation.

It is envisaged that you will work one to one with a Y6 over three to four sessions and will consider one or two ‘check ins’ in September.

We are also planning on a separate session for parents of Y6 children – details to be published shortly.

You may benefit from using the Scripture Union 'It's your move' Booklet alongside sessions with young people, which can be ordered here:
