How can the primary welfare officer ensure success?
Successful implementation of the primary welfare officer role requires: • effective welfare coordination across the school; • effective working relationship with principal and Leadership Team; • broad consultation throughout the school community to establish, and clearly articulate the range of student welfare issues; • prioritisation of student welfare needs; • case management of student support; • regular opportunities to participate in formal/informal networking and professional learning with other primary welfare officers.
