Easter Bush Staff Peer Support Group:

This scheme provides an opportunity for staff to discuss with a volunteer any personal issues they may be facing within an equal, supportive and confidential environment. Volunteers will be listed online alongside a short biography. Anyone seeking support would be able to contact volunteers via their supplied contact info. We will also be holding regular coffee mornings where staff can come together to chat over a cup of tea about welfare/campus issues.  Volunteers are currently being recruited from all staff levels, and will receive training in confidentiality, active listening, empathy and sensitivity.
