About the Session

The Chartered College of Teaching is delighted to have partnered with ACAMH to present a free online training series, ‘Pedagogy in practice’, exclusively for teachers and school leaders.

This series focuses on pedagogical approaches and practical strategies that can be used to support a range of aspects of pupil mental health in school. It gives attendees a unique opportunity to take part in interactive expert webinars looking at how to approach key topics in school.

‘Eating Disorders – Pedagogy in Practice’ will explore what Eating Disorders are, how to spot the signs in students across key stages, barriers that may arise for students (and staff trying to support them) and practical strategies to overcome these barriers. This webinar will also signpost attendees to suggested further reading links in order to substantiate what they will have learned during the webinar itself.

Presentations will be given by: Saira Saeed, Victoria Wilson and Rebecca Lipscombe of Beat, who will be joined by The Chartered College of Teaching's panelists: Jan Forshaw (Head of Education, Coram Life Education) and Jenny Barksfield (Deputy CEO & Director of Education, PSHE Association).

Event attendees will have access not just to the event itself but to supporting materials and resources to help them embed effective practice in their schools.
