Team Around the School Community of Practice

It is our vision that services will work together to support schools and raise awareness of the support that can be accessed. The Team Around the School Community of Practice aims to bring together education staff, service and advice providers to foster relationships between schools and services.

At our meetings you can expect: 

• Case Consultations – A supportive space to discuss cases in schools and obtain feedback and input from a wide range of expertise such as our Barnet Integrated Clinical Team to aid reflective practice as well as signposting from our Early Help Practitioners. 
• Sharing best practice – Opportunity for schools to share examples of an initiative or project that has worked well in their school and could inspire other educational settings.
• Building relationships between schools – Networking opportunities with education colleagues and services involved in the pastoral care of children, young people and their families.
• Celebrating what we do together  - Including Continued Professional Development (CPD) opportunities and guest speakers. 

Our next meeting will be on Thursday 5th June 2025.  
(Please note all TAS COP meetings are face-to-face).
