Peer Support Group Representative
- Job Description

Note: There is more on the Peer Support Group on the VLE.
Being a PSG Rep is something that is taken seriously within the school community. It is not a job that you sign yourself up for just so that it can be included on your CV or UCAS form. It is a serious matter that you must commit yourself fully to. However, if your application to the PSG is successful, there are benefits such as feeling as though you are making a difference to the school life for younger students, and it will help with your university entrance.

Your job would include:

• Being assigned to a form and talking to them on a regular basis.
• Dealing with bullying (at any level) that may go on within the form.
• Becoming actively involved with the lower school in order to develop their skills, either academically or socially.
• Referring any bully to the appropriate HOY or Learning Mentor.
• Attending assemblies within the year group so that pupils could recognise you and for you to show that you care (you may also have to talk to the group)
• Attending regular meetings with the Learning Mentor, to check how you're getting on, and your forms 'status'.
• Patrol corridors and danger zones at breaks/or lunchtimes.
• Attending drop in sessions at lunchtimes, and possibly break times.
