Target Audience: Academic Staff with a personal tutoring role.
Brief Outline: The workshop is primarily about enhancing the skills of staff fulfilling a Personal Academic Tutor Role and will provide an overview of the revised tutor support system for students.
The workshop will explore the creation of a safe and supportive environment and topics covered will include:
- establishing boundaries
- raising awareness in the use of communication skills
- recognising stress signs
- providing initial pastoral support for students/individuals within an academic context
- when to seek Senior Tutor and/or central support
- key aspects of interacting with the counselling and support services
The workshop draws on the accessible work of McLeod which explores the importance of “making a space to talk it through”. More action than talk, participants are asked to bring their experiences of communicating with students and/or others to share within our discussions.
