EBSA coaching sessions for schools
Empowering Staff. Supporting Pupils. Enhancing Attendance.
Lancashire’s Virtual School, in collaboration with the Lancashire Educational Psychology Service, is offering EBSA follow-up coaching sessions to help schools embed and apply the Lancashire EBSA guidance (strategy and toolkit).
These termly online coaching sessions are designed to give education professionals the time and space to reflect, problem-solve, and share good practice with colleagues from other settings — all with the support of an experienced educational psychologist.
Why coaching?

What to expect
90-minute online sessions via Microsoft Teams
