Question: How can pastoral care be provided remotely?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Safeguarding and remote education during coronavirus (COVID-19)
section_headers: Providing pastoral care remotely
section_content: Helping parents, carers and pupils to make a weekly plan or structure that
includes time for education, playing and relaxing is important to reduce
stress and anxiety for families.
As set out in Public Health England’s guidance for parents and
carers, routine can give children and young people an
increased feeling of safety in the context of uncertainty.
Schools might want to consider whether one-to-one sessions could be
appropriate in some circumstances. For example, to provide pastoral care or
provide support for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities
(SEND).
This should be discussed and approved by the senior leadership team to assess
any risks. There may be helpful solutions, such as including a parent or
additional staff member in the call.
