Pastoral Care Workers are an initiative of the Department for Education’s School Chaplaincy Program which is designed to support schools in promoting wellbeing of students, staff and families. This occurs in a variety of ways including but not limited to one-one support, small group work and mindfulness therapy. Sessions can be requested by students, class teachers, parents or senior leaders.
