The Learning Mentor Toolkit provides all of the resources necessary to recruit, train and supervise adult learning mentors looking to support children and young people within the school environment. Packed full of information, this book details all of the necessary training and uncovers how best to ensure that supervision meets the needs of the volunteers, the children and the school.

Developed to enable a lead member of staff to find, co-create and train a range of adults from the school community and use these Volunteer Learning Mentors to support children and young people within their environment, the support offered is linked to the five key areas that create positive foundations for mental health and wellbeing:

• the ability to create and develop positive relationships

• emotional literacy

• self-awareness

• how our brains can affect learning and behaviour

• skills for learning

Full of practical advice and resources, this book is the ideal resource for any wellbeing lead or senior leadership team looking to recruit and train learning mentors within their school.
