What is ELSA?
ELSAs are Emotional Literacy Support Assistants. They are Teaching Assistants who have had special training from Educational Psychologists to support the emotional development of children and young people in school.
.
ELSAs help children and young people to learn to understand their emotions and respect the feelings of those around them. They provide the time and space for pupils to think about their personal circumstances and how they manage them.
ELSA programmes will last for 6 to 12 weeks, helping the pupil to learn new skills or coping strategies
