This session will focus around the University’s Personal Tutoring Code of Practice; we will discuss its aims and rationale and the key principles that form the basic underpinning of the Code. We will explore the key responsibilities of Personal Tutoring at Teesside and the pastoral, academic and professional/career conversations that take place between tutor and tutee. Colleagues will be introduced to the Academic Enhancement Framework (AEF) and particularly the ‘Student Success’ strand which incorporates the expectations around personal tutoring and working with data to support success. Staff will be encouraged to work towards enhancement and excellence in these areas.

Personal Tutoring: Managing boundaries and knowing when to refer when dealing with student mental health and welfare: Wed 10th May, 9.30-11.00am, MS Teams
This session will focus on information for student facing staff who might be presented with a student in distress. The session aims to inform staff about strategies they can use to de-escalate a situation and what questions to ask to find out relevant information to refer appropriately. Boundaries will be explored so that staff feel confident about appropriate actions when managing a potential crisis situation and can identify when specialist intervention is required. The session will inform staff how to refer to appropriate services both within TU and externally.
