Product Information

It is respectful for an ELSA to ask a pupil if they may share information with others and then agree with them what will be said and to whom. There is nevertheless a useful place for group work, for example when the focus of the intervention is developing social or friendship skills.

ELSA Network – Emotional Literacy Support Assistants

ELSAs work with children and young people either individually or in small groups and deliver bespoke interventions tailored to the presenting situation or need.It is helpful for sessions to be at a regular time because children like to know when they will be able to be with the ELSA again. Make a Frozen princess’ day with our Disney Frozen collection, featuring lots of great merchandise from the incredibly popular film series. You could also check if there are any scripts, like ad blockers, running in your browser and disable them. ELSA works best when everyone in school works together to create a more emotionally literate environment, which includes understanding the needs that underlie problematic behaviour.

ELSA trainers are there to support the ELSA Network; therefore, apply for a training session and use this unique opportunity to grow. Sheila Burton, who set up the original ELSA projects, graduated in Psychology in 1975, followed by completion of a PGCE. You need the support of your SENCo or head teacher to help other staff understand that ELSA sessions are not rewarding bad behaviour. The plan can be picked up next time, or modified in response to new understanding of the pupil’s needs. Emotional Wellbeing: An Introductory Handbook was written by Gillian Shotton and Sheila Burton who worked together as educational psychologists in Southampton and Hampshire.After all, a subject manager in a school would not be expected to plan a curriculum with no resources to support it! It is highly recommended for all educational psychology services delivering ELSA training and supervision. Sheila published a best practice guide in 2018, entitled Excellent ELSAs (with contributions from Fiona Okai).

Resources – ELSA Network Resources – ELSA Network

Each chapter outlines some key psychology with a focus on practical applications, illustrated by brief case examples. This is achieved by training teaching assistants to develop and deliver individualised support programmes to meet the emotional needs of children and teenagers in their care. It’s good to have somewhere that is personalised for ELSA work with relevant pictures and posters to give it an attractive and nurturing feel. Sheila retired from Hampshire at the end of 2015 and then worked two days a week for Bournemouth Educational Psychology Service while continuing to provide consultancy more widely in relation to ELSAs.

The ELSA Network is managed by a steering group of educational psychologists with experience of establishing and managing ELSA training and supervision in local areas. Collections of stones, shells and other natural objects are tremendously useful in therapeutic work and cost nothing other than the time taken to gather them. The skills I have obtained within ELSA events and training sessions during my studies helped me develop more, both personally and professionally.

Particular caution should be exercised about ELSAs leading anger management groups as the group dynamic may be especially challenging. Wandering around school looking for a spare corner gives out a message that this work is not highly valued and, by implication, that pupils’ needs are not paramount.

Any educational psychologist heading up ELSA work in their local area is encouraged to contact Sheila to be listed on the Area Directory and also to register with the ELSA Network.She retired from regular local authority work in 2017 but continues to run the ELSA Network and be actively involved in ELSA-related work.
