Wellbeing Hub
Individual or collective wellbeing for staff in organisations can be approached from different perspectives:
- Deeply transformational organisational approaches.
- Support to develop objective evaluation and resilience.
- Support to heal from negative situations or a trauma.
- Events to create a short term feel good factor such as a massage session
Delegated Services works with a team of Network Partners who bring years of experience and current research into their specialist support and training courses. A number of our Network Partners are Trauma Informed Practitioners.
Wellbeing Training
There is a selection of Wellbeing courses available which evolve to meet current identified needs including prevention of Compassion Stress Injury, Understanding Workplace Psychological Wellbeing, Working with Children and Young People Living with Vulnerabilities and Trauma, which can be delivered in your workplace or as a networking event.
Please see our PDF Wellbeing Training Brochure with course details and please ask if there is any other wellbing training you are looking for.
Staff Wellbeing Framework
We can offer training in applying a deeply transformative staff wellbeing framework for organisations, which goes beyond the recommendations of the Health and Safety Executive and Department for Education. This has been designed by our Network Partner Dr Rachel Briggs, who developed her PEd around this.
Delegated Services also provides Wellbeing Policy support with the expert input of Dr Rachel Briggs and our Network Partner Catriona Mangham who provide consultancy support around organisational wellbeing.
Tools and Self Help Support for the Wellbeing of Individuals or Small Teams of Staff
As statutory services raise their thresholds for services for financial reasons , more people who would have received statutory support are no longer eligible and remain in their settings without suitable support. Our staff are then potentially more exposed to hearing about situations they find deeply upsetting and unable to deal with or change, and experience “compassion stress”.
We are able to offer support through our Network Partners including;
- Wellbeing support and plans
- Non-managerial supervision and coaching
- Counselling
- Menopause support
- Cancer coaching
- Art therapy
- Nordic walking and general wellbeing, and

“We have a very positive working relationship with delegated services. We have found them to be helpful, flexible and thorough as well as skilled and knowledgeable. They have been very supportive of our work and development in relation to health and safety. They are highly regarded by our schools and particularly in relation to their responsiveness when dealing with issues of concern or emergency situations. We have found all members of the team to be approachable and supportive.”
Louise Malik, Chief Financial and Operating Officer,
Lighthouse Schools Partnership
“We had our HSE inspection today. I am pleased to say she rated our Risk Assessment as ‘one of the best she’s seen’, so thanks very much for the model and the look-through and suggestions. As a result, we have no actions or advice.”
Mark Freeman, St Michaels Stoke Gifford
"It is so helpful to have all points so clearly identified and this has led to a real sense of purpose for our team in terms of quickly addressing actions. Your supportive audit has really helped us here at school, where busy times require items such as those identified by yourself to be a high priority."
Ro O’Reilly, Headteacher, Willowdown Primary
“The teaching and senior leadership staff and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for delivering a superb twilight session yesterday afternoon/evening. Having spoken to a number of staff reflecting on the twilight session they felt that the delivery and execution of the session was superlative. The general consensus from the session was that all staff present came away with a tangible sense of 'risk awareness'...”
Andrew Haynes, Cotham Gardens Premises Manager
“You and your team have been an invaluable support during this whole pandemic. ”
Richard Bamber, Headteacher Westbury Park Primary School (2021)
“A huge thank you to you and your team Bill, for guiding us in these difficult times – your advice has been outstanding, and I wouldn’t have known where to begin.”
Lisa Parker Headteacher Warmley Park School and College
“I must say, the information you have been providing to schools is exceptional – please can you pass on my feedback to the whole team for the amazing job they are doing”.
Mrs Karen, Llewellyn School Business Manager
“DS has an in-depth understanding of leaders’ issues and provides the information and written guidance required, often before you are aware that you need it.
They provide a wide-ranging and comprehensive set of up-to-date model policies and risk assessments. Using these allows the education and community sectors to focus more resources on educating and providing services to the community, reducing the time and resources needed, leaving school leaders with a sense that they have done more than “tick the boxes”.
The reassuring telephone response to urgent issues has been incredible.”
