About Liz Copeland
In August 2022 I retired as Deputy Headteacher having worked in Trafford at Wellington School for 38 years. I began my career as a French and Spanish teacher and as my passion has always been the welfare of young people, I have taken on various roles following the pastoral route: Director of Year, Assistant Headteacher (pastoral) and Deputy Headteacher responsible for safeguarding, Designated Teacher for looked after children, attendance, behaviour and senior mental health lead.
In 2016, I was part of the Enable Anti-Bullying project and have since been delivering anti-bullying ambassador training twice a year, every year to students in years 7-13. I have trained over 500 students since 2016.
I have also delivered training twice a year for Wellbeing Ambassadors, using a combination of my own and PiXL resources.
In November 2021 I qualified as a Mental Health First Aid Instructor, and I have delivered the two - day Mental Health First Aid course to teaching and non -teaching staff in various schools as well as to year 13 students. I have also delivered the MHFA Champion course to over 24 year 13 students.
I am very eager to support both staff and students at high school and primary schools by offering the following:
· Mental Health First Aid two- day course for adults working with young people
· Mental Health First Aid Champion one day course for staff and students 17+
· Whole staff /pastoral staff INSET training in anti-bullying and mental health (1 hour+)
· Parent workshops on mental health illnesses and bullying
· Anti-Bullying and Wellbeing Ambassador training for pupils years 7-13
